    Question How to match values found by vlookup

    Hi.

    I've attached a doc as an example where I need to compare some values with what is in the comparison chart. I am able to insert the values in a vlookup statement (=VLOOKUP(G4&" "&H4&" "&I4;B3:E68;4)) where the values of cells G4 , H4 and I4 are interpreted by the formula but these aren't found in the comparison chart (B3:E68). I need to get the evaluation (column E) as per the score of cells G4 , H4 and I4 inserted into cell J4 (this is where I have inserted the vlookup formula).

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Re: How to match values found by vlookup

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    What exactly are you trying to do? Your formula, effectively, is trying to find "3 3 4" (as 1 text value), in a range that contains values from 0 to 10 - so it will never find anything to match and will always return #N/A

    If you can explain what you are trying to do, we can probably put something together for you?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    In cell A4 put the formula =B4&C4&D4 in and copy it down.
    Replace your equation in K3 with =VLOOKUP(G3&H3&I3,$A$4:$E$69,5,FALSE)
    Don't just use the answers provided for you. Try to understand how it works by reverse engineering or asking about it.

    Hmm ok, maybe I understand. Try this...

    in A4, copied down, use this...
    =B4&C4&D4
    Then replace your formula with this...
    =VLOOKUP($G$3&$H$3&$I$3,$A$4:$E$68,5,0)
