associating best seller list to another column

[ExcelNovice101]

Hi, sorry I am sure that is poor title. But here is what I would like to do. I have a column of our all of our part numbers sorted by volume highest to lowest (30,000 skus). Next to it, I ran a sequence all the way down, 1-30,000. and next to that I have group of items that I want to know where they fall on the best seller list.

Column A: Open right now
Column B: Group of random Skus
Column C: Sequence of 1-30,000 (C2: 1, C3: 2...)
Column D: Skus ranked highest to lowest. Best selling sku is in D2 down to lowest in D30000

I would like to associate column B against column D and have the related number in Column C be shown in Column A. If that makes sense.

Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.

1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

Hello, thank you. I hope the attachment shows up.

I would like the formula for the following: In A2 it would show "3" as B2 = D4 and in C4 it is "3"

well something as simple as this would return the value but I suspect your data is more complicated than your posted example...
=IFERROR(INDEX($C$2:$C$4,MATCH(B2,$D$2:$D$4,0)),"")
adjusted for your ranges.

Thank you Sambo Kid, that did it. I just expanded the search with =INDEX(C:C,MATCH(B2,D:D,0))

Great! Glad that did it for you and thank you for the rep!
