    Vlookup to the left

    I am looking for a way to essentially perform vlookup to the left. The workbook I am working in makes the most sense how it is now and the information I want is to the left instead of the right.

    I have tried index and match but I couldn't get it to work and the array I want to be pulling from is not static. I routinely add information and would need to pull the new information. To further complicate matters, the table I want to pull the data from is in one sheet and where I need the data is on another sheet.

    I have attached a small workbook I am trying to get the CARD# on Sheet 2 to "autopopulate" with the CARD # from sheet one.

    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Re: Vlookup to the left

    In D2, =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},Sheet1!$B$2:$B$26,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$26),2,0) and copy down.

    or use this in D2 and copy down. =INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$26,MATCH(Sheet2!A2,Sheet1!$B$2:$B$26,0))

    Try

    =INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$26,MATCH($A2,Sheet1!$B$2:$B$26,0))
