    Question Lookup data from two tables to create a 3rd view

    Hi, can anyone help? I currently have two quite large tables. I want to create a third table which:

    - looks at a specific cell in table 1
    - finds a cell that align with it in table 2
    - creates a new version of table 1 with the information found in table 2

    that's probably confusing without seeing it, the extract attached tries to show:

    Cell C3 =-Role B requires an Awareness level of Benefits
    Cell B10 = text that is relevant to "awareness level in benefits"
    Cell L9 = needs to show the text from B10

    If anybody has any ideas, or can just tell me whether or not this is possible that would be great !
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,

    Try this. K9, copy across & down.

    =HLOOKUP(VLOOKUP($J9,$A$3:$G$5,MATCH(K$8,$A$2:$G$2,0),0),$B$9:$F$12,MATCH($J9,$A$9:$A$12,0),0)
    Regards,
    Haseeb Avarakkan

    If the table Row headers are in consistent order, ie. Benefits, Change, Approach, then perhaps?

    =IF(B3="None","None",INDEX($B$10:$F$10,MATCH(B3,$B$9:$F$9,0)))

    copied down and across.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
