I need the corresponding ID from sheet2 to sheet1

The below one I used in sheet1's B2 Cell

=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!A$2:B$1000,1,0)

Returns N/A and the error shows Did not find value '[email protected]' in VLOOKUP evaluation.

CodePudding user response:

According to the VLOOKUP syntax - the search for values takes place in the first column of the range. In your formula VLOOKUP tries to find the value '[email protected]' in the column Sheet2!A$2:A1000 and clearly can not find it there, because this text is in the range Sheet2!B$2:B1000

In Google Sheets you can use the following formula =ARRAYFORMULA(VLOOKUP(A2,{Sheet2!B:B,Sheet2!A:A},2,0)) - here we swap the ranges for finding the key and the range for output directly in the formula

CodePudding user response:

The lookup field must be the first column in your data table. Otherwise Vlookup will not work. That means your ID field must be after the Address.
