    Using XLOOKUP

    I have an idea which involves a question in column A. The answer which is to be given in column B is a single letter or pair of letters, from a group of 5. lets call them A, F, K, WE and U.
    These letters equate to a value to be used elsewhere in the spreadsheet.

    At the moment i do not have a spreadsheet, just and idea and it has been suggested that using " XLOOKUP " is a possibility to get to where i want.

    as an example,


    A B
    ________________________
    paid? A

    Paid? U

    non paid? F

    non paid? WE

    Paid? K


    Each answer in column B has a different value.

    I hope this enough to help you advise me if " XLOOKUP " is the way to go and offer a suggestion.

    Re: Using XLOOKUP

    Your forum profile says 2007, but XLOOKUP is available only in 2021 and newer - please update your profile NOW.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. The sample layout accurately matches that of your real data. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

    Re: Using XLOOKUP

    In the absence of a workbook, you could try this:

    =LOOKUP(A1,{"A","F","K","U","WE"},{1,2,3,4,5})

    Change the values in red to the values you wish to return for each letter.

    Hi there, Yes I did have but had trouble logging in. Sent an email describing the problem that I was going around in circles without advancement. I suggested that I would open another account and heard nothing back so invented another account.

    Re: Using XLOOKUP

    OK - well that's somewhat confusing, especially as the other account says that you have Office 365. You really should have declared this at the very start of this thread!

    What is the issue you are having logging in? If you give me details, I can get the tech team to look into it for you. Send me a PM.

    I am closing this thread as a duplicate. You can respond with your new account in the original thread - there is already a suggestion there to which you have made no response.
