I am using VLOOKUP a lot to copy the fields from a "Jobs" spreadsheet,
to a "Service Report" spreadsheet. In other words, when I am doing a
report, instead of typing in all the customer details, etc, again, as
soon as I enter the Job Number in the appropriate cell, most of the
remaining cells are filled in by VLOOKUP.
My columns in the Jobs spreadsheet are labelled:
DATE JOB No. CUST No. CUST NAME TRAVEL TECH TIME FREIGHT etc.
If I use JOB No. as the search criterion, then I can use VLOOKUP to find:
CUST No. in column 2
CUST NAME in column 3
TRAVEL in column 4 .... and so on ...
But ... how do I find the DATE which is in the column to the left of my
search matrix?
By the way, it seems that the Search Criterion has to be in column 1 of
your search matrix for VLOOKUP to find it, so I can't unclude the DATE
column in my matrix.
Many thanks, James Elliott
This sounds more like you need to use a database, not calc.
