    Re: can a formula match text to the left , then match it with another text and return valu

    The data is linked and not showing in your sample
    can you load a sample without links and the data
    but i was woundring if D3 in "TV SCREEN" can match the text in A3,
    Not sure what this means exactly

    You cna use a vlookup() or an index/match to look up values
    so you can lookup a number in A3 and lookup in column J
    BUT without the example I'm a little lost
