    Need Help with a "Matching" Function

    Hello and thank you for reading. Your Help would be greatly appreciated. I have a situation that goes as follows:

    In sheet1 I have a code on one colum and a written formula on the next. on sheet2 i would like to create a formula of some sort that will allow me to use a vlookup or a match that will look for the code on sheet1 and input the working function on sheet2. is that a possibility?

    please help me.

    My kindest reagards

    It might help if you provided a sample of what you are working with - and what you want?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    Why don't you just put the working formula on Sheet1 then you can use a simple VLOOKUP formula on Sheet2.

    Re: Need Help with a "Matching" Function

    Do it like this...

    On the Codes sheet enter these formulas:

    B2: ='Result Sheet'!B2*'Result Sheet'!C2

    B3: ='Result Sheet'!B3*45

    B4: ='Result Sheet'!C4*0.87

    B5: =IF('Result Sheet'!B4<'Result Sheet'!C4,"No Reserve",'Result Sheet'!B4+'Result Sheet'!C4)

    On the result sheet...

    Enter this formula in D2:

    =VLOOKUP(A2,Codes!A$2:B$5,2,0)

    Copy down as needed.

    that will not work because there are 1000 rows on the original sheet. I want to automate the process of that result colunm.

    Ok, as noted by Pepe, you'll need VBA to do what you want.

    I suggest you start a new thread in the Excel Programming / VBA / Macros forum and include a link to this thread so that people can see what has already been discussed.

    Good luck!
