Case-sensitive VLOOKUP
Problem:
Hi,
I found the following formula on this site, which performs the equivalent of a case-sensitive VLOOKUP.
In D1 I have a drop-down to select any cell in range A2:A20
=LOOKUP(1,FIND(D1,A2:A20),B2:B20)
It works really well except when the lookup column contains names where one is a subset of the other.
eg 'Dani' and 'Danielle'
When the Find function is looking for 'Dani' both the above entries score a '1' in the Find array.
I tried to fix this using Exact, like this:
=LOOKUP(1,--(EXACT(D1,A2:A20)),B2:B20)
The array returned by the EXACT function seems as if it should work.
But although some selections of D1 return the correct answer, many of them don't.
I tried variations, such as:
=LOOKUP("TRUE",TEXT(EXACT(D1,A1:A20),2),B1:B20)
but this also gives inconsistant results.
Can anyone tell me what's going wrong?
Regards - Dave
Key to Case-sensitive VLOOKUP:
For the LOOKUP function to work correctly, the data being looked up must be sorted in ascending order.
Case sensitive lookup using VLOOKUP and EXACT will work only if the exact match is found on top of the list before any other matching
entires.
Try the INDEX() formula above
