Excel Formula - VLookups :s


Hi, I have a spreadsheet I have created however, the Vlookups i have entered don't seem to be working.

Basically, on the 'Jobs' sheet (see attachment for file), I want to be able to type in the Forename OR surname of the customer and the spreadsheet automatically fills in the ID and forename/Surname fields.

Any help would be appreciated on this one!

Many thanks in advance!

Jon.C

Hi

The syntax for your VLookup was a bit off. You can't refer to just a sheet name - you need to refer to a range or a named range. I named B1:C15 on the Customer sheet CustName. It now works fine. The correct formula is therefore

=VLOOKUP(B4,CustName,2,FALSE)

Spreadsheet re-attached.
