    How do you Match 2 Columns and if text Matches Display info from 3rd Column to a 4th

    I am intermediate excel user (at best) and I need assistance creating a formula and I have no idea how to go about this.

    I have a sheet open with inventory from a distributor. In column A I have SKU's and in column F I have SKU's. When Column A matches the SKU in Column F i need for the price listed in column B to list in new Column J.

    Note: The SKU's are not in order and several SKUs can be skipped in between. If there are no matching SKU's in Column B then it can just be skipped.

    Thank you in advance for the help!!!! I have been stuck for days!

    Re: Need help with forumla - Not sure how to go about this

    Please, rename your title according to the rules:

    1. Use concise, accurate thread titles. Your post title should describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

    To change the title of the thread, click EDIT on the original post, then click the Go Advanced button, then change the title. If two or more hours have passed, the EDIT button will not appear, and you need to ask a moderator to change the title.

    In this workbook that I uploaded Column B is the price for the corresponding SKU in Column A. I need Column E to list the prices for the Matching Sku in Column D.

    If you notice towards the bottom the SKU's start to mismatch and this happens more and more down the line as there are about 15,000 SKU's in Column A and 25,000 in Column D

    Thank You

    Do you mean this:

    =VLOOKUP(D2, A:B, 2, FALSE)

    No, that didn't work. Is there something I can run within excel to skip the row completely if Column A doesn't match any SKU in Column D? Or is this something I will need to get a programmer to do in a programming language?

    Attached is the outcome from your formula and a column with the outcome that I need. I posted a comment in D42

    Thanks again

    im not sure you are explaining yourself properly, why would you want it skipped the results give the correct value for each sku found in col A. the reasons the ones at the end look wrong is that some of your values in col d are not numbers as they are in column A. put 0 in a spare cell copy it select column D paste special/add
