Question : Perform Excel Lookup Find
I am trying to do a lookup in Excel Sheet 1 from Sheet 2. I am trying to use Vlookup and Find functions but didn't have success. Here is a quick example.
Sheet 1 Sheet 2
Customer IMT Desc Customer IMT Desc
;D552AYU 2094738 ;D552AYU IMT002094738
;D552AYU IMT 002094738
;D552AYU IMT00-209-4738
I want data from sheet 2 and as you can see that in Sheet 2 there is a match but the 2nd cell has an extra space after "IMT". In the 3rd cell there are dashes and vlookup wouldn't work. I tried using MID function but due to inconsistency that doesn't always work. Is there a way to do lookup and return the value in Sheet 1.
I hope I explained it well, if I didn't let me know and I will explain it further. See attachment for the sample data.
Thanks in advance for the help

Answer : Perform Excel Lookup Find
If still unsure, use process explorer. There is a "cross-hair" icon which you can drag and drop onto that message and resulting process will be highlighted :)
