    VLOOKUP - alpha-numeric

    I am trying to find missing values - in other words, I am looking up 0000-11-22-333-FY15 or 1111-99-999-MT14 etc. These are values I currently have. What I want to find are the same values (0000-11-22-333) but where instead of FY15 it could be MT13 or FY19 which are values I don't have but need to identify so I can add them to my table.

    This is my formula: =VLOOKUP("*"&G1&"*",Current!$A$2:$B$2599,1,FALSE) but it is returning G1 which I already have in my table. I only want to see values I don't have.

    Appreciative~

    Re: VLOOKUP - alpha-numeric

    Welcome to the forum!

    Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook?

    1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

    2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

    3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

    4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

    If you are looking for all values beginning "0000-11-22-333" then you will need a different formula: VLOOKUP will only find the first match.

    In column S of "Current"

    =COUNTIF(ACCTs!A:A,Current!A2)

    new accounts will have value of 0 so Filter on 0.
