I am developing Spreadsheet that you will enter a list of parts that you need. it will have many columns but only 4 are vital to the check. this will be generated for each project.
With each part i want to then look up in another file that is a list of all the possible parts you can have with there cost. this file will be standard for everything and it will be updated from time to time.
now not all the criteria to look up will be exact matches.
here is an example
code temp/pres rating diameter material
GLV 4500 15 16Mo3
in the other file we will have multipu entries for GLV with different values.
code temp/pres rating diameter material Cost Reference
GLV 4500 20 16Mo3 400 aaa1
GLV 5500 15 16Mo3 350 aab1
GLV 5000 15 16Mo3 300 aab2
GLV 5000 15 13CrMo4-5 600 acb1
GLV 5500 15 13CrMo4-5 600 acb2
For Code i need it to match (there are lots of codes even including variations like GLV.)
For Temp/pres rating i need it to be equal or higher to the value
For diameter i need a match
for material i need a match.
so as you can see from the list above there are 2 options. so then i want it to return the cheapest.
that is step one.
step two is to repeat it for multiple list of parts.
Thanks for you help. and if you have any questions let me know.
i have searched the forum for a couple hours and did not find what i needed. but if you know one that is best fitted for me then let me know.
thanks again
