Hi,
Bruce, Remy, Brian and Jim
Thank you for your kindness and answers.

Tonight while following the election on TV I'll have a lot to do when giving the VLOOKUP() a new try according to your advice.
I must have done bad thinking -- perhaps getting old.
Anyway I again learn a lot.
Best regards
Pertti

Try this.

=IF(B1="","",OFFSET($Z$20,MATCH(B1,$B$20:$B$35,0)-1,25))

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Help with LOCalc formula

Best Spreadsheet Experts,
May I ask for help having a more elegant formula in LOCalc (v.5.0.3; win10)

Description
I try to get a little extra to my pension savings by experimenting on
the share market and follow up the results using Calc (not a database).
I have a spreadsheet with two ranges – range(1) directly above range(2).

r(1) specifies per row every specific purchase/sell event (date, company
name, amount, etc).
To calculate the actual "to-day"-result for this specific event (row) we
need the "to-day"-value for this company's share (in e.g. column X),
which value is taken from respective company's row in col.Z in r(2).
r(1) has yearly 100-130 rows (events)

Range(2) lists each company named in the above Range(1) and has in col.Z
the corresponding share's "to-day"-value. These inserted share values
varies from one day to the next.
There are now 10-15 companies (rows) listed in r(2) – not in alphabetic
order.
r(2) sums the up-to-date result per company and the total result.

Problem
The belowe example simplified to 5 events concerning 3 companies may
clearify the problem with the formula in X1 copied down col.X:
=if(B1=$B$20;$Z$20;if(B1=$B$21;$Z$21;(ifB1=$B$22;$Z$22;0)))

As you can see: with 15 (or more) companies (and >100 events) the
formula will grow and become very long and sensitive for mistakes.
VLOOKUP does not seem to be an option, at least it requires a completely
new setup of the page.

Range(1) - events
A       B C….                 X
1.     nokia                       5,o
2.     kone                     41,o
3.     nokia                       5,o
4.     fiskars                         12,o
5.     kone                        41,o

Range(2) - companies
A         B C...         Z
20     nokia               5,o
21     fiskars               12,o
22     kone             41,o

Any suggestion will be very interesting.
Thank you in advance
