    Question Can we use VLookup to fill in fields from Scattered Data ?

    Hi,

    I wanted to know that is it possible to use VLookup to fill in data in certain row by matching it from different rows rather than just from a single row.

    In the attached image, I want to fill in the cells next to "Yellow" i.e. (H4) & "Pink" i.e. (H7) by using the same formula I used to in H2 cell which is "=VLOOKUP(G2:G7,A2:E12,2,0)
    ". NOTE - That I have selected the table array from "A2:E12" which covers the values of D11, E11 & D12, E12 in which the "Yellow" and "Pink" information is given. I do realise that the source has become different now, but is there a way in which I can fill in H4 & H7 through ANY FORMULA (if Vlookup can't be used) where I don't have to restructure the data in the sheet.

    P.S. - The data I shared in the image is very small, but if I figure it out then I can apply to large data which is similar to this problem.

    Thank You in advance.

    Hi,

    I have inserted that value in cell "H4" & "H6" but It's filling in incorrect value of "2500" in both of them.

    You have to put the formula in H2 and drag down. The formula is looking at G2 to start, and will adjust based on the row as you drag down.
