Vlookup formula problem

[ringrim]

Good Morning,

I have a table with columns A,B,C,D,E,F. A and B are names and C D E are Address, City, State, ZIP, I need a formula that says if A=B then return BCDEF.

I tried using =vlookup(A1:B10,3,4,5,6) but thats not right. Can anyone simplify this for me?

Sorry to be such a noob, im still learning.

Theres possibly a better way to do it than this but it's getting late and my tea's ready

=IF(A1=B1,(VLOOKUP(A1,B:E,1,FALSE)&", "&VLOOKUP(A1,B:E,2,FALSE)&", "&VLOOKUP(A1,B:E,3,FALSE)&", "&VLOOKUP(A1,B:E,4,FALSE)),"n/a")

Not sure if that's what you asked for but I think it is, If A equals B then produce the address?

What do you mean by

if A=B then return BCDEF

Are these in line or are you looking to see if what is in A1 is found somewhere in B and then return corresponding BCDEF?

And do you want the returns in separate columns or all concatenated somehow?

Please be more clear and possibly show examples.

VLOOKUP returns one value, in the column you specify. You will need multiple VLOOKUP formulas to return the data in those columns. If you want the returned data to be in the same cell you will want to concatenate the data

CONCATENATE(VLOOKUP(formula #1), VLOOKUP(Formula #2) and so on...

You can also add an extra column to the end of the table that CONCATENATES the row for you, and then use the vlookup to return that cell if A# = B#...

I think we established that... why not wait for OP to answer relevant questions?

=if($A1=$B1,B1,"")

copied across 4 columns and down as far as necessary
