    Exclamation Simple v look up formula is not working



    Hi all,

    A18:A37 is my look up, from which I want to find out the qty from the range of D2:D14. Only one item is found in the look up, as I can see there is many other items should be found.

    Please guide me is there any other things r missing in my format or formula. I have tried lot changing format and even tried with index match. sorry I am still newbie  at this. It is a very frequent problem I face that the criteria remains, but doesn’t show.

    Re: Simple v look up formula is not working

    In cell G18, change your formula to:

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Then copy down. Your current formula uses relative addressing, so when you copy it down it changes the row number. If you put a $ it will not change the row numbers when you copy down.

    Maybe this>
    =INDEX($D$2:$D$14,MATCH(A18,$A$2:$A$14,0))

    Re: Simple v look up formula is not working

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A18,$A$2:$D$14,4,0),"")


    =IFERROR(INDEX($D$2:$D$14,MATCH(A18,$A$2:$A$14,0),1),"")

    These will also hide errrors

    Re: Simple v look up formula is not working

    And you can also use OFFSET function

    =IFERROR(OFFSET($A$1,MATCH(A18,$A$2:$A$14,0),3),"")


    And INDIRECT


    =IFERROR(INDIRECT("D"&MATCH(A18,$A$2:$A$14,0)+1,3),"")

    Re: Simple v look up formula is not working

    For 2003


    =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A18,$A$2:$D$14,4,0)),"",VLOOKUP(A18,$A$2:$D$14,4,0))


    =IF(ISERROR(INDEX($D$2:$D$14,MATCH(A18,$A$2:$A$14,0),1)),"",INDEX($D$2:$D$14,MATCH(A18,$A$2:$A$14,0),1))
