    VLOOKUP from One Array to Another Array

    Hi all,

    A quick question...

    Is it possible to use a VLOOKUP (or HLOOKUP), to check if any one reference number in a row of reference numbers is present in another column of reference numbers.

    Then, if it is, find this particular reference number in the vertical list, and pull out the value associated with that number (in a column immediately to the right of the reference numbers)

    I hope this makes sense.

    If I had the data on my person, I would upload a screenshot, unfortunately, I don't, sorry.

    Thanks for the help

    Screenshots are not much use anyway - better to post an Excel workbook.

    You don't say which columns you are using, so assume reference numbers in column A, starting on row 2 to allow for headers. Also assume that your other table of codes and values is in columns J and K on the same sheet, then you can put this in B2:

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,J:K,2,0),"")

    then copy down.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    EDIT: Sorry, you say that the first list is in a row, so that won't work - please describe how your data is laid out.

    Pete, thanks for the help.

    Unfortunately, it isn't quite what I want to do.

    Assuming your set up (Data in table A2:H4000, and another set of codes in table J2:K2000)

    What I want is a function in cell I2, that looks across the row A2:H2 and says, right, are any of these reference numbers present in the column J2:J2000. Then, if it finds such a reference number in A2:H2, it takes the corresponding value, in column K, associated with that reference number.

    I hope this is more clear?

    Thanks
