Tried searching and didn’t get anything so I apologize if this is already covered. I feel like what I’m looking for is pretty simple. Trying to make our company time sheet more simple. I need to create a formula (or multiple) that basically says Company A = Group A, Company B = Group C, Company C= Group B, etc. So when someone selects Company A from the drop down menu in cell B2, in the corresponding cell B4, Group A automatically populates.
I tried searching youtube and found videos about conditional formatting and creating a formula within the developer section, but frankly I didn’t really understand. Hoping one of you good folks can give me a hand.
Edit
Alright trying to wrap my head around what you said. If I’m just too simple for this, please don’t hesitate to tell me. They can pay someone else to do this if they have to.
I have my lookup table created, but I don’t understand the formula. I’m going to try and explain it very simply and hopefully you can tell me where I’m wrong or what I need to do. I’ve got all the companies listed in column A and their corresponding group in column B. What would the formula be to assign value?
Then tell me if this is correct. On my billing sheet I’d put this formula into a cell in Column D which is where the group name goes for the company listed in Column B in the corresponding row. =VLOOKUP(B2;A1:B192;2;0)
- Admittedly, I don’t understand the formula, just pasting from your comment while changing the value to match my lookup sheet.
Edit #2
I’ve attached a version of my spreadsheet that has sensitive info removed for privacy concerns. As for the formula, I don’t have one myself, just copied and pasted what was given on here. I tried both given and one gave me a “Err:511” and the other “#N/A”.example.ods
