Simple cross reference index in excel
hi, I need a spread sheet that does matching/cross referencing with the below
rules:
I don't see where I can attach my xls, so it can be seen at :: http://www.aanning.com/ajissues/Excel/xrefs/

 I believe I only need 4 relatively simple formulas, please advise, and
thanks - James   -  XXXX@aol.com

1) Columns A,B,C, E and F will be static values A,B, C 400 rows, E and F
1000+ rows
2) Columns A,B,C, E and F are free form, no formulas, pasted in
from another soure, will never change size or order
3) Columns A,B,C, E and F
are the reference, index or lookup tables 4) colunns H, M and Q will be provided. Free form, pasted in, may be in any
random order.
5) Columns A and H will must contain the same dataa, but may
not be in the same order.
6) column J will be be the same as column J, except
depending on column C will have a leading E or C (ie J4 should be C100003 and J2
should be E100005)
7) Columns A and H will must contain the same dataa, but
may not be in the same order.
8) Column I shuould be the cross refence of A/B
(ie I6 should be 100002) 9) Column M may have duplicate values (several people can have the same
manager)
10) Column N  shuould be the cross refence of A/B (ie N6 and N7
should be 100005) 11) Column Q may have duplicate values (several people can have the same
default GL code)
12) Column R  huould be the cross refence of E/F (ie R
should be R6 should be 31 So, 4 Rules (formulas), in columns I, J, N and R

Hi,

One more question how would these formulas look if...

(referencing "CROSS_REFERENCE.xlsx" at:

http://www.aanning.com/ajissues/Excel/xrefs/

..if columns A, B, C, E and F....were on Sheet2 and  ONLY H, I, J, M, N, Q and R were on sheet 1?

(FYI, I will be getting user supplied data, for H, M and Q...pasting it in, and expecting I, J, N and R to autofill by data in A, B, C, E, and F)

Thanks James

you just add the reference in Hans's formula, like this:

=VLOOKUP(H2,Sheet1!$A$2:$B$400,2,FALSE)

Ah! got it

If any column is not on the same sheet..."point it" by

sheetX! in front of that column (where x is the sheet number where it exists)

thanks so much!
