How can Vlook work to provide the data in revers for example:
in one excel sheet my data is,
A B
12 Raj
55 Abhay
96 Vinod
75 Ganesh

in another Excel sheet my data is,
A B
Abhay
Vinod
Raj
Ganesh

I want the A column to be lookup and the value of the first sheet column A
should appear. Is it possible. I know it is possible if i cust the B
column & past it in the A column and its work. But i do not want to cut the
same.
I have tried by no use. Please help me.

Hi,

Try this

=INDEX(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$4,MATCH(A1,Sheet2!$B$1:$B$4,0))

This assumes your data are on sheet 2 and the value you are looking up is in
A1 of another sheet.

Does it have to be VLOOKUP()? INDEX() with the data in Sheet1 in A2:A5 will
do it thus:

=INDEX(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$5,COUNTA(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$5)-(ROW()-ROW($A$2)))

Dear Sandy,

The Formula provided by you is of Index. I required the Vlookup formula.
As describe i require the lookup in revers i.e. if any data form sheet 2 is
present in second coloum in sheet 1, then i required the 1st data of the
respective field form sheet 1 to be appear in the column 2 of sheet 2.


=Vlookup(sheet1!$A$1:$B$8,-1,0)

It doesn't work, you cannot Vlookup and return a column to the left
