Hi all and thank you for accepting me into this group. This is my first post and I really would like some help.
Before I posted this I have research for many hours into trying to find a way of doing this. And the closest answer I have come across is within this website and after trying to follow the steps I am still stuck -
So here is what I am trying to do - I have attached the EXEL sheet for ref
The First Vlookup code to be put into Cell A3 worksheet called DATA
using Vlookup to look up down a list of data in a column worksheet called "codes" column A
and compare that data in cell C3 workbook "data" and if any part of that string in cell C3 "data" is in any cell in column A worksheet "codes" then I would like the corresponding numeric value in COLOUM B "codes" to be placed into A3 worksheet "DATA"
I have tried this but it does not work
=VLOOKUP("*"&C3&"*",CODES!A1:B16,2,0)
so for example with the correct vlookup code cell A3 workbook "data" should have the value 3010
Thank you
