Hello everyone!
I am new to using VLOOKUPs, and I was helped greatly by davegugg in an earlier thread, but I have a lot to learn.
I need some help in comparing and entering in data in excel using vlookups.
I currently have a list of ZIP codes for a group of contacts in one Excel 2003 workbook. As an example, the sheet looks like this:
ZIP Code | County
01001 empty
01060 empty
01301 empty
01550 empty
I need to get the county information for each of these ZIP codes. On a separate workbook, I have a list of every single ZIP code in the country and its corresponding county, like this:
ZIP Code | County
01001 Marcus
01002 Hampden
01003 Hampden
01004 King
01005 King
01006 Albany
...and so on until 97819. That's a lot of counties and ZIP codes.
I need to have the first workbook's ZIP codes access the second workbook's codes, and then grab the corresponding county. Is this possible?
I have tried numerous times to do a vlookup, but it just keeps giving me zeros all the way down.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jon
