    lookup many not standard data

    Hello everyone

    i have data master with standard structured such as "Street XXX", but i have to lookup with various data form, like "St XXX".
    it's okay if only few data, but it will be a problem if more than 1000 data.

    some case, i use
    =vlookup("*(criteria)*",...
    on lookup value for vlookup, but we can't change to:
    =Vlookup("*A1*",....)
    is there any other way to lookup not standard data with multiple criteria?

    thanks

    Re: lookup many not standard data

    Will you please attach a SMALL sample Excel workbook (10-20 rows of data is usually enough)? Please don't attach a picture of one (no-one will want to re-type all your stuff before starting).

    1. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

    2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

    3. Make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!

    4. Try to avoid using merged cells. They cause lots of problems!

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    Re: lookup many not standard data

    One way (needs VBA:

    How to install your new code
    Copy the Excel VBA code
    Select the workbook in which you want to store the Excel VBA code
    Press Alt+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
    Choose Insert > Module
    Edit > Paste the macro into the module that appeared
    Close the VBEditor
    Save your workbook (Excel 2007+ select a macro-enabled file format, like *.xlsm)


    Then use:

    =VLOOKUP(similarity(A3,$D$3:$D$6),$D$3:$E$6,2,FALSE)

    to return the result.

    Re: lookup many not standard data

    Next suggestion: are you able to download and install Microsoft Excell Add-ins? If so, then Fuzzy lookup from Microsoft might do the job.

    Hay Glenn, thanks for the respon

    already install Fuzzy lookup for excel, and wheni try fuzzy lookup, the output is so different with yours.
    and what the means of rating with -2146826259 value?

    i use default configure, and the second lookup value has 0 similarity, wichis so diffrent with you

    any special configuration that you use?
    thanks for the help
