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 Product 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))

Using an Excel Range Name in VBA [duplicate]

I'm trying to use an existing workbook Range Name "value" in VBA.
I use cell E1 on a Config Tab that has been named "GridStartDate".
Looking at the Name Manager in Excel I see that the Value is 9/1/2022 and the "Refers to" is =Config!$E$1
I want to simply refer to the Sheet Name Range instead of the explicit cell
ShiftCells = DateDiff("d", Sheets("Config").Range("E1").Value, StartingDate)
With something like this:
ShiftCells = DateDiff("d", ActiveWorkbook.Names("GridStartDate").Value, StartingDate)
I'm concerned that if someone should add a column or row in the Config sheet it may move my GridStartField and therefor cause the above formula to fail.
I get a type mismatch when I use the revised codes because the Value is actually returning the refersto value it seems. I find all sorts of information on adding Ranges with VBA but I don't understand how to use the value after the fact.
Thanks

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)

I am trying to use :
VLOOKUP to get the value of the ID colum in the below image :
The formula returns #N/A error although the value exists!
The formula I am using is :
=VLOOKUP(J13,$C$2:$D$10,1,FALSE)
Need help resolving this please.
Thanks.
Use index() with match().
Vlookup() only works to the right of the indexing column.
So:
=index(C2:C10,match(J13,D2:D10,0))
Or you could do the lazy solution of swapping col C with Col D, but other formulae you have may then fail...
