    Lookup - Exact Match

    Hi all,

    I'm looking for help on which function to use for the following problem as LOOKUP doesn't seem to be able to do exactly what I want.

    I need to use a 'Lookup' type function which will only find an exact match from a list of data, if an exact match is not found I need it to return an error or empty or something.

    This is the current function/expression which I'm using:

    LOOKUP(B13,SData!A2:A5007,SData!C2:C5007)

    Can anyone suggest anything?

    Many thanks,
    Anth

    You should use Vlookup. Your formula will be something like:
    =VLOOKUP(B13,SData!A2:C5007,3,FALSE)
    which means that you want the values in the third column from range A2:C5007, where FALSE means that you want an exact match.
