vlookup

I have already tried all options that I found online to solve my issue but without good result. Basically I have two csv files (pipe separated): file1.csv: 123|21|0452|IE|IE|1|MAYOBAN|BRIN|OFFICE|STREET|MAIN STREET|MAYOBAN| 123|21|0453|IE|IE|1|CORKKIN|ROBERT|SURNAME|CORK|APTS|CORKKIN| 123|21|0452|IE|IE|1|CORKCOR|NAME|HARRINGTON|DUBLIN|STREET|CORKCOR| file2.csv: MAYOBAN|BANGOR|2400 MAYOBEL|BELLAVARY|2400 CORKKIN|KINSALE|2200 CORKCOR|CORK|2200 DUBLD11|DUBLIN 11|2100 I need a linux bash script to find the value of pos.3 from file2 based on the content of pos7 in file1. Example: file1, line1, pos

How do I modify this function so that the result will merely be a blank cell rather than having #N/A show up if B2 has nothing in that cell? I think I might need something like an ISERROR check but I don't 100% know what I'm doing. =VLOOKUP(B2,Index!A1:B12,2,FALSE) Thanks! If you only want to return a blank when B2 is blank you can use an additional IF function for that scenario specifically, i.e. =IF(B2="","",VLOOKUP(B2,Index!A1:B12,2,FALSE)) or to return a blank with any error from the VLOOKUP (e.g. including if B2 is populated but that value isn't found by the VLOOKUP) you can use IFERROR

Im sorry this is a very basic question but for some reason it's just eluding me. I'm trying to do a VLOOKUP in a table and I keep getting an error when trying to look up a string value. I have created the problem on google drive to help illustrate what i mean https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L70yQeWmr0J08UwK3nkSQaLNVFzfI1zi8euzhoYq8XY/edit?usp=sharing regards The VLOOKUP function is intended to return a value that is to the right of the look up value. To reverse this, use a INDEX / MATCH function pair. =index(A:A, match("Danton", B:B, 0)) btw, if you use TRUE (or omit) in the range

I'm trying to pair a vlookup with a max function. For some reason it only returns #ref every time I try to use it though. My sheet looks like this: A - B - C - D - E - F - G 1... 5 - Prod5 id1 $100 $125 $155 $110 $150 6... A:G is named buyAverages C:G is named buyAveragesPrices What I want to do is have a vlookup go and find a value in Col A and then return the highest value in that Col. So example: A - B 1 - Prod5 *return highest price for Prod5 What I wrote in B1, which failed: VLOOKUP(A1,buyAverages,MAX(buyAveragesPrices)) So how do I achieve this lookup? Everything I have found is how to

I am working with an excel file and I am trying to "map" some values with the vLookUp function. The first parameter of the vLookUp function is giving me headaches: The function works with certains values (typed by hand in a text format)...but doesnt work with pre-generated values (the sames ones...but generated from an ERP system..). I checked to make sure that I was looking for "same nature" values ( text vs text ) ...but I can't find out why the first 3 values (typed by hand) are fine... but the last 3 (pre generated) gives me a #N/A error: It has to be a difference of "format" ..but I can't

"The range where the lookup value is located. Remember that the lookup value should always be in the first column in the range for VLOOKUP to work correctly. For example, if your lookup value is in cell C2 then your range should start with C." But sometimes I want to be able to do dual-direction lookups. Ie, lookup using a key in column A to get the value in column B AND at the same time, in other formulas, lookup the value in B to get the value in A. The only way I know is to add a column C which mirrors A, then use AB for the first lookup, and BC for the second lookup. But there has to be
