- Oct 02, 2021thanks for reply. you have picked up correctly. I used C just for example. it may be any value resulting from combination of A and B according to the data provided to excel.
sometime, it may be A and C in both cells, so excel should look for the resultant value from with in the provided data and return the value in C1.

Thank you, but I still don't catch what is the logic to generate " resulting from combination of A and B".
Let assume in A1 is 10 and in B1 is 11; or in A1 is "Joe" and in B1 is "Mary" - what shall be returned?
- Awais7376Oct 02, 2021Copper Contributorthat whole stats has been already provided to excel. for example: I have fed this whole data into the excel that if A1 is Joe and B1 is Mary than answer should be smith. if I change Mary to Shela in B1 than answer should be Jack. excel should find the answer with in the data which has already been provided. I hope I could make it clear............

Is it possible to share sample file? It's not clear where provided data is located and in which form. In particular how Joe and Mary are connected to Smith in these records.
- Awais7376Oct 14, 2021Copper Contributorhi Mr Baklan, really grateful for your quick and helpful responses. can you resolve another little problem. I have created few lists with names like "a, b, c, 101, 202". I have noticed that excel always put "_" after C and before the numerics. .e.g. "c_" "_101". why that happens and how to correct? Thanks
