    Formula other than VLOOKUP to search and return a Value

    Hi Folks
    I do not wish to use VLOOKUP for this one as I do not want to sort the data-

    Example Workbook attached.

    Cheers

    If you have found solving my problem/s to be an interesting and educational exercise then how about Repping me up?
    No idea why I need Rep, other than feeling left out....

    You do not need to order a table for VLOOKUP if you are looking for an exact match, which is what you are doing: that's only where approximate matches are required.

    However, INDEX MATCH will probably be more efficient here. In M1 copied down:

    =INDEX(STATS!$O$1:$O$13,MATCH(DAILY!L1,STATS!$A$1:$A$13,0),0)

    Change the ranges to suit.

    'You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to AliGW again.'

    If I had Ali as my teacher all those years ago my attendance rate at school would have doubled from 6 days per annum to 13......

    Thank you once again Ma'am

    You're welcome!

    I wish I could say that my pupils felt the same way ...
