MS Office Forum / Excel / Worksheet Functions / January 2008Trying to do a Lookup
I'm trying to match a UPC # to an Item number on an invoice. I put the formula in and it bring up thewrong item number. I'm not quite sure how to fix this. The formula I'm using is =IF (A20>0, LOOKUP(C20,Sheet1!A:A,Sheet1!B:B),"") PLease HELP Heather, I assume you have a reson for only executuing your lookup if A20> 0 because it may be a bit unusual to check a value in your lookup vector but it's not affecting the formula. In fact it works perfectly for me so can you expand how it is going wrong. Mike > I'm trying to match a UPC # to an Item number on an invoice.

Instead try using a MATCH function along with INDIRECT: =INDIRECT("Sheet1!B" & MATCH(C20,Sheet1!A:A,0)) HTH, Paul > I'm trying to match a UPC # to an Item number on an invoice.

Last comment remains true, your formula works perfectly for me so what is your error? Mike > I'm trying to match a UPC # to an Item number on an invoice.
