so now, you have an array of data.
and a query that returns a station name and number.
so what are you looking up?
are you trying to find the row with the matching station name,locate the 
matching value and return the day/shift??

Forgot to answer. 
"list of reject descriptions"Is that the column titled "Station Name"? Yes
then: the SQL query returns the rejects in "descending order".that's descending 
order by COUNT, not description? Yes Regards alan

If so, I get that for Station 18, count 172 is found on Thursday, Day shift.But 
I don't find the Station 12 count of 82 in your example... so perhaps I'm not 
interpreting it correctly.

and, what is it you're trying to look up?

ok as simple as I can make it.
On the first sheet I have a list of reject descriptions, across which is 
populated the number of rejects per shift.(see above)

The second sheet is is from a sql query that returns the rejects in descending 
order. (so the second sheet is not in the same order as the first sheet).
hence the example I showed shows the second highest reject count from the 
second sheet is not in the same position as the second highest of the first 
sheet.
So as the days move on the positions of the reject stations will be different 
on the second sheet.but the first sheet will remain the same.
i thought this would be simple to do.
I thought all i had to do was look for the station name from the first sheet 
and find that text within the array of the second sheet (lookup_vector) and the 
result_vector would give me the number of rejects for that shift.
Sounds easy no?

I'm not sure what you're "looking up"??
Your sample data is:
| Station Name | Mon Day | Mon Night | Tue Day | Tue Night | Wed Day | Wed 
Night | Thur Day | Thur Night | Friday Day | Friday Night |
| Station 18 (Vaccum) | 276 | 363 | 231 | 146 | 54 | 175 | 172 | 180 | 208 | 
238 |
| Station 12 Height Measure out of range | 69 | 116 | 85 | 107 | 48 | 60 | 52 | 
59 | 96 | 74 |

 and you said you're looking up:Reject counter for Zone 0, Station 18 (Vaccum)  
      172
Reject counter for Zone 0, Station 12 (CheckPresence)  82   
but why would it return 172 and 82?I see a 172 for Thursday Day shift,but I 
don't see a value for 82 

As for your wildcards in your vlookup...
vlookup syntax is:VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, 
[range_lookup])
If you use Range_Lookup as "true", it will allow "approximate" matchesbut if 
you use this, your list must be in "ascending" order.
so Station 12 must come before Station 18.
but.. I'm not sure at all that I understand what you're trying to accomplish.
you said you "pull these faults every 12 hours from the database into an excel 
sheet"
then you "manually update these"
update what?
do you mean you READ the values from the database and update the excel sheet 
manually?then what does the VLookup have to do with anything?
Could you share a file showing what you START with, the steps you do manually, 
and what you want to end up with?
What is your database? msAccess? something else?
how do you read from it?Do you generate a report electronically?
I think we need more detail to help properly.

Hi All

problem description. I have an excel sheet that i update manually. I want to 
update automatically. 

Here is what I have, A list of faults in a column, across each row is the day 
and night shift, Monday to Friday.
see below.

Sheet 1
 
|  
| Station Name | Mon Day | Mon Night | Tue Day | Tue Night | Wed Day | Wed 
Night | Thur Day | Thur Night | Friday Day | Friday Night |
| Station 18 (Vaccum) | 276 | 363 | 231 | 146 | 54 | 175 | 172 | 180 | 208 | 
238 |
|  Station 12 Height Measure out of range | 69 | 116 | 85 | 107 | 48 | 60 | 52 
| 59 | 96 | 74 |


I pull these faults every 12 hours from the database into an excel sheet. i 
then manually update these.

Sheet 2

 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 |
| Reject counter for Zone 0, Station 18 (Vaccum)                                
172
Reject counter for Zone 0, Station 12 (CheckPresence)                      82   
     

I want to set up the lookup function in the first sheet, for each shift and 
query the new data, I know this could be done in VB, but I am not that well up 
on VB.

even now when i run the lookup function i set my lookup value to  "*Station 18 
(Vaccum)*" It did not work. the Astrix is for wild card yes? any help on this 
would be deadly....
