    Lookup multiple columns

    I have a main telephone number lets say in Column A then in columns B to L I have all I have more telephone numbers, then finally in column M i have a Priority ID.

    What i want to do is lookup the telephone number in column A and give me the Priority ID in column M if the telephone number is in either columns B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L

    I can do a VLookup but this will only give me a result if the telephone number matches in the first column of the lookup, in this case column B.

    Kind regards

    David

    Re: Lookup multiple columns

    Try this if you need the same phone no in all: =IF(COUNTIF(B2:L2,A2)>=11,M2,"One doesn't match")
    If only one other match is needed: =IF(COUNTIF(B2:L2,A2)>=2,M2,"No match")

    (Sorry about my English)


    If your data is A1:M11
    Formula maybe
    =INDEX(M1:M11,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW(A1:L11)/(1/(A1:L11="Tel_number")),1))

    Or if you put a tel-number in N1 (instead direct in formula)
    =INDEX(M1:M11,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW(A1:L11)/(1/(A1:L11=N1)),1))

    Regards.

    Thanks, but this will only work if the matching data is on the same row, I want to lookup B1:L2000 and give me the result of column M where a match is found.

    Sorry, I should have been clearer.

    Re: Lookup multiple columns

    Did you mean the telephone number can be duplicated in others row? (So many of M will be reported)

    Regards.

    Re: Lookup multiple columns

    Hi

    I suppose you want this.
    Use this formula to get the ID in M3:M15 from the phone numbers in the table A3:L15, where D20 is the search phone number.
    Formula: copy to clipboard
