Help index and match?

Hi:

I have a sheet (target) which has a project ID.

I have another sheet (source) with 100 columns (which has the project id)

I want In the target to take about 20 fields from the source and put into the target.

Vlookup is limited as it can't handle more than 20 columns.

and I can't find an example

MY field is called Request ID (e.g. BARID123) and I want to match on it in the source and return column 10, 20, 30 as an example - but I will copy the formula over to each of the target fields so only one column is returned. Help

Hi Matthew,

VLOOKUP can handle more than 20 columns but it also depends on how many rows/cells you have. Depending on your structure it could also make sense to use a combination of INDEX/MATCH instead.

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!

Best,
