    Re: Vlookup with multiple columns

    hi there. maybe this in BJ2?
    =VLOOKUP($C2,$BO$2:$BT$656,MATCH(BJ$1,$BO$1:$BT$1,0),0)

    copy down & across. for Column BK, some cells will return 0 if they are blank. you can either format cells as:
    General;;

    or use:
    =VLOOKUP($C2,$BO$2:$BT$656,MATCH(BK$1,$BO$1:$BT$1,0),0)&""

    Re: Vlookup with multiple columns

    Hi,The first formula when copied down &across just fills col BJ.The second formula also just fills col BJ but with the wrong data from col BS.I also need to fill cols BK & BL.It maybe because there are 2 empty cols between cols BO & BR.Thanks again.
