    Help With VLookup

    I have 3 spreadsheets open next to one another- Sheet 1 has a list of every sales representative and their sales results for the current year, while Sheets 2 and 3 each have some of the sales representatives listed (they're split up into 2 different geographical zones) I need to format VLookup's to search for the sales reps name on Sheet one, and return their sales results to corresponding cells on Sheets 2 and 3. It seems like it should be pretty basic, but I am not sure if I am missing anything in my formula. Here is an example:

    Sheet 1
    Name: Sales:
    John Doe 20
    Jane Smith 35
    Tom Brown 40
    Mike Jones 27

    Sheet 2
    Name:
    John Doe
    Mike Jones

    Sheet 3
    Name:
    Jane Smith
    Tom Brown

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi

    Something like this?

    =INDEX(Sheet1!$B$1:$B$100,MATCH(A1,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$100,0))
    Regards

    =VLOOKUP(G5,Sheet1!$K:$T,Sheet1!,10, False)

    10 is "Column 10" in the table array, but its returning an error every time I try to reference it.

    Re: Help With VLookup

    I just spread the formula to the whole column, and it worked save for the first entry...never seen that happen before. Any ideas?

    Yeah, you have a second "Sheet1!" in your formula above... just delete it (incl. the comma)...
