VLOOKUP from Form Input

Martin Knor

Hey guys,

I've been unable to find a solution for this one.

I have a sheet from which I "VLOOKUP" values from another sheet. This another sheet gets its values from a FORM input.

When I reference another sheet as a lookup_table, I select the whole sheet in which the FORM data input ends up, the new line is never included in it whenever a new line is generated from the FORM input.

How do I go about this? I do understand that I can't VLOOKUP a row that does not actually exist yet.  Is there a work around?

Cheers,

Martin K.

Hi Martin,

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Thanks for responding Andree!

These are the screenshots of the process I'm going through.

How do I make the VLOOKUP function take into account the new FORM input?

Happy to help!

Change the reference to include the whole columns. That would include the added rows as well. 

Make sense?

Did it work?

I've been working with SS for about a year and there is still things to learn.

Did not know I can actually reference whole columns. Makes so much more sense.

Thank you so much!
