Match A Call To Column And Give Result

  • Hi people,


    AM looking for a formula answer only if possible, pretty sure it would be just my expertise on Excel isn't the best, am learning though !!!


    Attached is a spreadsheet that contains a list of Football teams (F) with corrasponding numbers next to them (E).


    In column A is a list of footballers and column B has a corrasponding number.


    WHat I want to be able to do is type in the footballers names in A and type a number next to them in B, in column C it would read off the corrasponding Team number and populate it with the team name. In the attached example I'll manually list the fist teams in B, i need a formula todo this for me. Probably quite simple.


    Thanks.

    I actually used a lookup to resolve the issue, well sort of.
    =LOOKUP(B1,$E$1:$E$12,$F$1:$F$12) is the forumla, the only issue is where numbers have not been entered in column B it has #N/A, how do I change it so it is just blank and will populate when I put a number in ?

    Hi,

    In this case I think it would be better to use VLOOKUP.


    =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B1,$E$1:$F$12,2,0)),"",VLOOKUP(B1,$E$1:$F$12,2,0))
