Excel formula
Hi,
I need a way to look for specific data within an Excel table. If the data from an Excel cell matches the information inside the table, then in another Excel cell, the value related to that cell in the table must be shown.
Example:
| DATA TO FILL WITH THE INFO OF THE TABLE | |
| ARTICLE | PRICE |
| Article 1 | |
| Article 2 | |
| Article 3 | |
| Article 4 | |
| Article 5 |
Table:
| TABLE WITH THE INFO | |
| ARTICLES | PRICES |
| Article 3 | 12 |
| Article 4 | 3 |
| Article 1 | 5 |
| Article 2 | 6 |
| Article 5 | 7 |
Result:
Whenever an article appears in the first table, it will look for the "PRICE" in the second table and show it:
| ARTICLE | PRICE |
| Article 1 | 5 |
| Article 2 | 6 |
| Article 3 | 12 |
| Article 4 | 3 |
| Article 5 | 7 |
