I have two worksheet named booklist and author.I am trying to get the Id of author from the worksheet author and use it in the boolist worksheet in the writer code column. I have written the formula like below-
=VLOOKUP(C2,author!A2:D419,1,0)
But it is not working kindly help me aht is wrong in this
It is showing error kindly help me to do that.
VLOOKUP() will not work in this case because vlookup always look for value in first column and return data from another column of corresponding row. You author sheet first column is ID and you are looking for writer name. So, it will never match. Try below formula instead.
=INDEX(author!$A$2:$A$500,MATCH(C2,author!$C$2:$C$500,0))
Or XLOOKUP() like-
=XLOOKUP(C2,author!$C$2:$C$500,author!$A$2:$A$500)

My goal is to Match the Primary Key's of two different sheets in Excel. In this scenario, the primary key has multiple duplicates, but is differentiated with column TYPE.
What would be the way for me to Match the Primary Key to the correct key with only TYPE = 'A'?
=INDEX('SHEET 1'!C:C,MATCH(A2,'SHEET 1'!A:A))
This code is matching the primary key to both sheets to obtain name, however I do not know how to specify/match the TYPE = 'A' as well>
Image 1 with the code
Image 2Reference Data
Make a helper column in sheet1
with formula =A2&B2
It will give "x1A" "X1B"....
then use this formula:
=INDEX(Sheet1!C:C,MATCH(A2&"A",Sheet1!E:E,0))
observe there is a Zero in the end of the Match function.
If someone knows how to do this without helper column, I would be thankful to see that solution.

I want to lookup sheet 'Product' and grab the Approval status and input it into column B of sheet 'Non Variant'. Obviously matching the correct article number.
Snippet of Non Variant Sheet

Using INDEX(MATCH()) you'll get what you want, just set the range right:
=INDEX(Product!$A$4:$A$8,MATCH($A2,Product!$B$4:$B$8,0))

I was doing research in how to use a formula and someone provided me with the following: =SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR(A2:A15)=2010),--(B2:B15>=50))
The person has not responded in over a week and I was wondering if anyone could explain the purpose of using the -- before the ranges? Is this in relation to using Ctrl+Shift+Enter?
-- turns a range of logical values (e.g. TRUE/FALSE) to a range of numerical values (e.g. 1/0). This is necessary in order for SUMPRODUCT to work as intended. It has nothing to do with Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
Another alternative is to use +0, e.g.
=SUMPRODUCT((YEAR(A2:A15)=2010)+0,(B2:B15>=50)+0)
In this case, not even necessary to do either. Could just do this:
=SUMPRODUCT((YEAR(A2:A15)=2010)*(B2:B15>=50))
All three of these alternatives will return the same result.
