Hello again!
I wanted to update you guys. I created a new table manually with the fields:
EXT EMAIL FULL NAME
I proceeded to fill them making sure no value was repeated. So now I
have a table that is capable of converting EXT to EMAIL or FULL NAME; or
EMAIL to FULL NAME with vlookup().
I also need to look up to the left side so, for example, if I want to
extract the email from a full name I can vlookup() the name and check
the adjacent cells. The problem is vlookup() only looks to the right
side of the first column so I've used vlookup(choose()) to be able to
look up the values to the left side. This feels like bad formula all
around and would like your opinion in which is a good way to do what I
want to do.
The exact formula is this:
|= VLOOKUP( VLOOKUP( D5,CHOOSE( {2,1}, ext_mail.$B$1:$B$100,
ext_mail.$E$1:$E$100), 2, 0), $A$3:$B$51, 2, 0)|
So it is a choose() nested in a vlookup() which is nested in another
vlookup(). Bad code all around.
Thanks for your time!

Hi again!
I have a problem in Calc. I get a lot of spreadsheets from various
sources and I have to compile one big sheet with the information of
every one of them. One of the problems I am facing is that there is a
lot of names for the same user. So, for example:
PHONE EXTENSION Name Sheet A
111 John Doe
PHONE EXTENSION Name Sheet B
111 Jon Doe
PHONE EXTENSION Name Sheet C
111 J. Doe
Right now, I have kind of a table relating one to another but it is
absolutely atrocious:
EXT. Name A Name B
111 John Doe J. Doe
111 John Doe Jon Doe
I would like a system where I could have only one row for person:
EXT. Name A Name B Name C Name D
111 John Doe J. Doe Jon Doe ...
112 Dorian Gray D. Gray Don Gray ...
And once the table is properly established, I would want to replace
every appearance of Name B, Name C with the value of Name A.
If any of you would want to help me pointing how this could be done, I
would be immensely grateful.
Thank you!
