Vlookup - Reference another Sheet

✭✭✭
edited 12/08/22 in Formulas and Functions

I have entered Vlookup but getting #NoMatch error. Feels like something is not right in my formula. Can anyone please help?

When I type true as match type, the value started appearing but with false nothing shows up.

    Check the starting column of your range is equivalent column to customer name on the other sheet and you count the columns from there...

    Example I want to take the Date from sheet 1 to sheet 2 if my DEP code matches so:

    =vlookup(Depcode@row, {Sheet a /1 Range 4}, 2,false)

    As you can see, I started at the DEP column as this is equivalent to my Depcode@row on sheet 2, I then chose column 2 as you count the columns starting with 1 first column highlighted.

    Hope this helps ...

    If not put a snapshot of your other sheet if possible? :)
