On sheetA I have a column of names. On sheetB I have those names in a column paired with an ID.
On sheetC I want to have a new column that takes the names from sheetA, matches them with the names on sheetB and returns the relevant ID.
I've been trying to achieve this with vlookup
but can't quite figure it out. So far on sheetC I have:
=xlookup(A3,SheetA!$A$1:$A$600,SheetB!$B$1:$B$600,"not found")
The result I want is as follows:
sheetA
A |
---|
John Smith |
Jane Doe |
Joe Blow |
John Smith |
John Smith |
sheetB
A | B |
---|---|
John Smith | 0001 |
Jane Doe | 0002 |
Joe Blow | 0003 |
sheetC - desired outcome
A |
---|
0001 |
0002 |
0003 |
0001 |
0001 |
Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?
You lookup value A3
seems incorrect. Try-
=XLOOKUP(SheetA!A1,SheetB!$A$2:$A$2000,SheetB!$B$2:$B$2000)
