vendor matches
This is my first question on this site, so I hope I hope this makes sense.
I have vendor numbers in Col A-each vendor number would only be listed one time and not in numeric order. In Col B-- I assigned a number beside each vendor number in Col A. In column G, the same vendor numbers are listed but they may be listed more than one time and not in order. What I would like to do in Col H is if Col G has a match in Col A, I would like it to put the corresponding number from Col B in Col H. (Vendor#) (Vendor#) Col A Col B Col G Col H 123411 1 196879 102312 2 108810 108810 3 108810 196879 4 105554 105554 5 102311 -- John |

1st post and well explained..
Use VLOOKUP(). In H1 use the below formula and copy down as required =VLOOKUP(G1,A:B,2,0) If no match is found; it will return an NA# error which can be handled as below =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(G1,A:B,2,0)),"",VLOOKUP(G1,A:B,2, 0)) -- Jacob (MVP - Excel) "John" wrote: This is my first question on this site, so I hope I hope this makes sense.

Or avoiding the double lookup (hence marginally quicker)
