I have an excel database where I have customers and numbers like this>>>
CustomerName:JobNumber or sometimes CustomerName:JobName:JobNumber
example Smith, John:123 or Company Corp:Brown, James:124
I need a VLOOKUP (or something else) that can search for a number right in that database, without any modifications to it
I found a way to separate JobNumber from the rest...
=RIGHT(B34,LEN(B34)-FIND("^^",SUBSTITUTE(B34,":","^^",LEN(B34)
-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B34,":","")))))
but that requires me to modify the database
example of what I need,
(Sheet2)
B1=Smith, John:123 C1=$789
(Sheet1)
A1=123
=VLOOKUP(A1,#CODE#) -- or something else
yields $789
