    Vlookup

    I have a list in column A with corresponding values in column B. When I enter info (that matches choices in column A) in column F I want the corresponding value that is in column B to display in column G.

    I have attached the attempted spread sheet.

    Perhaps I need to use a different formula?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thank You,
    Mike

    Hi,

    you're on the right track! In cell G5 use

    =VLOOKUP(F5,$A$5:$B$37,2,FALSE)

    and copy down.

    note the last parameter, which ensures that only exact matches are returned. Also, note the $ signs in the lookup range, which ensure that you can copy the formula down.

    cheers

    re: Vlookup

    In G2 copy this formula

    =VLOOKUP(F5,$A$5:$B$37,2,0)

    copy G2 down. simple way of doing it select G2
    bring the cursor to the bottom right when cursor turns into + and click that + sign.

    In the formula note the dollar signs so that reference range can remain the same. see the last argument 0 which means exact lookup is required.
