    VLookup

    Hi

    I'm trying to create a vlookup formula but i'm just falling short of getting it right.

    basically i have 2 excel sheets, on the 1st sheet i have a list of cloth no's, and on the 2nd sheet i have another list on cloth no's along with their respective values

    basically i want to extract the values from the 2nd sheet

    so on sheet 1
    a b
    1 469
    2 510
    3 1167


    and on the 2nd sheet i have
    a b
    1 469 £234.33
    2 510 £3678.98
    3 1167 £437
    4 1167 £345
    5 1167 £900

    now the formula i use in the 1st sheet column b is =VLOOKUP(A1,'sheet2'!B:C,2,0) which returns the correct value of £234.33 for cloth 469, but when it comes to a3 it only returns the value of £437 where i need it to be £1682

    can this be done, i've tried true and false in place of zero, but it also returns the 1st and last value only.

    can anyone help

    many thanks

    Re: VLookup

    You can use SUMIF()

    =SUMIF(Sheet2!A:A,A1,Sheet2!B:B)
