    Vlookup the best scenario?

    Hello,

    I am stumped on a project I am to complete and was looking for some help with the final area. I have learned a little on some formula's but this one taking a little longer. I am creating a spreadsheet and here is what I need. I will have a list of names and grade level and I need the corresponding grade levels to have the correct graduation date.
    example
    (column A) (column b) (column c)
    1 Name Grade Level Graduation Date
    2 Mikey 10 ?????
    3 Joey 08 ?????

    I need to somehow enable the column for graduation date to have the correct date according to the grade entered in the grade level column. Can not figure out how to do that. The list will contain grade levels 6 thru 12 and each one have the correct graduation date entered automatically upon import information, without having to manually enter the graduation date. Vlookup was mentioned, but can not understand that. Anyway of doing it would be great. Thanks a lot for any and all help.

    A sample workbook would be helpful.

    Welcome to the forum.

    Please take a few minutes to read the forum rules, and then amend your thread title accordingly.

    They also explain how to attach a workbook.

    Thanks.

    Re: Vlookup the best scenario?

    whilst the forum rules are fine, you just need a lookup function, somewhere safe build the following table:

    | E | F |
    1 | 1 | 09/08/2012|
    2 | 2 | 06/04/2012 |

    etc then use the following formula

    and substitute the area where you have written your corresponding graduation dates :D
