Default VLOOKUP

=VLOOKUP(B7,C433,2,0), how can I modify this so that it works when B7 is on
Sheet 1 but C433 are on Sheet 2?

Default VLOOKUP

=VLOOKUP('Sheet 1'!B7,'Sheet 2'!C433,2,0)

Another handy trick is that when you're building the formula, you can select
another worksheet and cells, and still be 'writing' the formula in your
starting sheet.

Default VLOOKUP

Hi,

the answer depends on which sheet your formula is in:

If the formula is in Sheet2:

=VLOOKUP(Sheet1!B7,C433,2,)
or
=LOOKUP(Sheet1!B7,C433)

If the formula is in Sheet1:

=VLOOKUP(B7,Sheet2!C433,2,)
or
=LOOKUP(B7,Sheet2!C433)

If the formula is in Sheet3:

=VLOOKUP(Sheet1!B7,Sheet2!C433,2,)
or
=LOOKUP(Sheet1!B7,Sheet2!C433)

So as Luke indicated the best way to build formulas is to point and click.
In otherwords start by typing =VLOOKUP( and then click the sheet tab and
then select the cell(s) you want and continue.

Default VLOOKUP

Thank you. I was referencing column B (the width was 1) but putting the
contents in Column C, and I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work when I
was doing it initially. Thanks man for helping me get clarity!
