How to us VLookup in a Summary Sheet using Summary sheet fields and referencing another Smartsheet?

LARRY MCNULTY

I will try to lay this out my Business Case in picture form.

Smartsheet Plan: Larry-Editable Template - COEe

• In the Summary Sheet field: Project Request Status (COEE only) is defined as a dropdown list where I would like to use a VLOOKUP to pull status from another sheet using the Clarity Idea ID to match on and bring in Intake Status from Reference sheet listed below. 

Current Formula what I have used: =VLOOKUP([Clarity Idea ID]#, {KH FTMO Intake Tracker-Intake Status}, 1, false)

Reference Table KH fTMO Intake Tracker

Matching on Clarity Idea ID(Column 2) and on a match take Intake Status column (Column #11)

Hi @LARRY MCNULTY

It seems to be correct, but you’ll need to change the 1 to 10 to get the Intake Status value.

Is the range looking at Clarity Idea ID as the first column and then the Intake Status is the last one?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Yes changing the column number to 10 worked. Yes rereading the formul documentation makes sense now. Thanks Andree.
