Question : Matching Cell Items in Excel

Hello Experts,

This request is so tricky I didn't know it took me a little while just trying to find an appropriate title :-)

Anyway, this request requires someone pretty adept with excel.

In the attached sample I would like the postcodes in column A to find a match in Column C and there is indeed a match I would like the cell in column B to be inputted with the information in Column D .... confused? :-)

Let me give you an example.

A3 has EN8 9SL, there happens to be an identical match in C18, therefore I would like B18 to have the input of Hertfordshire.

I know you Experts can help me with this - that's why I continue to subscribe to Experts Exchange :-) You guys are great.

Thanks in advance for your help

Cheers

Carlton

I'm so sorry....
I didn't lock the range. Please see below.

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A2,$C$1:$D$21,2,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(A2,$C$1:$D$21,2,FALSE))
