Can Not Get My VLookUp In Excel To Return The Requested Data
I am trying to pull data from another sheet based on data selected from a dropdown on the main sheet.
All the formatting is "General"
=VLOOKUP(F15737,'Location Master'!$A:$J,2,FALSE)
It just keeps returning me #N/A
Try using the Index Match method. It's an alternative to Vlookup which doesn't require data to be sorted and can therefore be of more use.
The typical structure of this method is (the text inside the asterisk will give the ranges specific to your sheet:
=INDEX (**Column from which you want to return a value**, (MATCH(**Lookup Value**, **Column against which you want to lookup**,0))
In this case, if I've understood your workbook structure, the formula should look like this:
=INDEX('Location Master'!$B:$B,(MATCH(F15737,'Location Master'!$A:$A,0)))
