    VLOOKUP - Returning results x No. of Columns to Left

    Hi All,

    I understand how VLOOKUP works but I have a sheet where the result I want returned is in efect column -3. eg VLOOKUP(A1,DATA,-3,0)

    Do I need to use a different function or can VLOOKUP return the result of a negative column.

    Thanks in anticipation of you help.

    Andy

    Use INDEX/MATCH combo

    Assuming your data starts in Column D and you want values from Column B use
    =INDEX(B:B,Match(A1,Data,0))

    Is thsi something you can work with?
