    Looking up values within a range that has a unique id

    Hard to explain but ill try my best, thanks in advance

    In a sheet I have roads, carriageways (part roads, referred to as cwayX) with various start and ends - e.g road1 cway1 1m-100m, road1 cway2 100m-200m, road2 cway1 1m-100m, road 2 cway2 100m-200m, road3 cway1 1m-100m, road3 cway2 100m-200m etc.
    In another sheet I have roads with locations - e.g road1 38m, road3 104m etc.

    How do I get the carriageway ID into the 2nd sheet?
    edit: I should add, attached example sheet. The real one has thousands of rows

    Cheers
    Brad

    what are you basing your 'search" on? in your example, sheet2 only has 2 references to gun rd, while sheet1 has 3?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    the location (sheet2) of an item being within the start and end (sheet1)

    move start in front of cway_id, sorry didn't see it when I made the sheet
    I was thinking something along the lines of:
    =VLOOKUP(B2,Sheet1!B2:C9,2,TRUE)
    But it gives the incorrect result unless the range is changed to B2:C4 (see below)

    when the road name on Sheet2 is gun rd, the vlookup range needs to change to only rows starting with gun rd,
    so for gun rd, in this case B2:C4. Turtle rd would be B5:C6 etc.
