Vlookup to reference weekly sales

Hello,

 

I am using a drop down list to select dates for viewing my weekly sales.

I am then using a VLOOKUP to find me the results, in the table next to it I was it to reference a week before to show a comparison of this week vs last.


can I do a VLOOKUP or something, that if this cell is referenced then reference the cell above?

 

thanks

    VLOOKUP is a bit more direct but if you need to pull previous date's revenue, you can use INDEX-MATCH for both:

    Current:

    =INDEX(Sheet2!$D$1:$D$21,MATCH($B$5,Sheet2!$C$1:$C$21,0))

    Previous:

    =INDEX(Sheet2!$D$1:$D$21,MATCH($B$5,Sheet2!$C$1:$C$21,0)-1)

      Harun24HR can you filter by a cell before? I tried filter but it just shows me the results. 

      basiclly I want to select a week from my list, and then it populates the sales for that week, but when those cells populate I want it to select the week before in the column next to it for a comparison, 


      so like this 

       

      list of dates  

       

      sales data here populated by list | sales data here populated by the week before the selected week in the list

        Can you show some sample data and desired result?
