Hello,
I'm not sure if this is even possible but let's see.
I have an 11 digit reference number. Staff input the last five (as the first 6 as the same for everyone) when recording data in sheet 1 column C.
Sheet 2 then contains the five digit number, the full 11 digits and also the name attached to that reference.
Sheet 1 has a vlookup in column D which takes the five digits inputted and returns the full name attached from sheet 2.
However this is currently failing as sheet in sheet 2, column B contains a trim formula to get the five digits from column C's 11. D contains the full name.
I have attached the document to make it clearer.
I need to pull the full name from sheet 2 into sheet 1 by using a trimmed version of the reference.
I cannot use the values or copy and paste the trimmed values as the information in sheet 2 changes frequently.
Thank you
