excel - Matching values from multiple columns to populate another -


i trying compare column against column b. when there match, i'd populate resulting column (column d) data column c.

i have partial parts list (column a) comparing against complete parts list (column b). when match occurs, i'd extract corresponding data complete parts list, nomenclature (column c) , place next matching part number in column a.

before

column         column b                  column c           column d part number      description               part number        description 123456           bolt                      123456 

after

column         column b                  column c           column d part number      description               part number        description 123456           bolt                      123456             bolt 

i'll bite, assuming you've mis-labeled examples, want can done enough using formulas.

in cell d2, put formula:

=index(b:b,match(c2,a:a,false))

enter image description here

how works: match function returns relative row number in column a, , index function uses row # return value in corresponding row in column b. likewise, do:

=vlookup(c2,a:b,2,false)
