In some of my reports, using vlookup to display the good data is not working for cells containing a long description or many different names, particularly when I am looking for only 1 specific word. For instance, I want to know the value of chocolate for Spain, so vlookup works great if in the column “country” 1 cell = 1 country but not good if 1 cell = 10 countries.
When I use the formula ?
When in 1 single cell contains a lot of information.
How to use the formula ?
The formula in this topic is with "," so depending of the operating system of your PC, the formula should have ";" instead of ",".
How are the formulas ?
=INDEX()
=MATCH()
=INDEX('sheet2'!A:C,MATCH("*"&A2&"*",'sheet2'!A:A,0)+0,3)
Explanation:
As I said, if you have 1 cell = 1 value, use vlookup, read Search in different sheets then display the wanted data with a formula in an excel report.
