Good morning guys. I do not know how to start this out so this is the best I can do to explain what I am trying to do.
I have a chart in Excel Sheet1. In sheet2 is a data base. I am using VLookup to bring over the Symbol and the data to put into the chart in
Sheet1. So far no problems. The symbol I am bringing over is the Mkt Symbol, Example: ACG. This is where I am at a loss. ACG has another symbol that represents the Net Asset Value of the fund. The symbol is
XACGX. When I type ACG in cell A1 the data from Sheet2 goes in the chart. How can I put the Net Asset Value SYMBOL in A2 when I type in the Mkt symbol ACG in Cell A1?? I have over 650 symbols in the data base
that have Nav Symbols. I have used Concatenate to change the Mkt symbol from ACG to XACGX I just do not know how to get the Nav symbol XACGX in Cell A2. Thanks for any help on this one

Wouldn't you just using another column number in the VLOOKUP?

Good morning again. That sounds good. I do not know how to put a second symbol request in VLookup. Do you have an example I could see??
The one I am using is =VLookup($A$1,Sheet2!$A$2:$D$DU2. This looks in
Sheet2 and brings over all the data in A2:DU2. When I type in ACG in Cell
A1 what would I need to add to the VLookup command to bring over the
Nav symbol XACGX to Sheet1 Cell A2? Thanks, I told you I was going to have a hard time explaining this mess.

What I mean is use the next column like maybe

=VLookup($A$1,Sheet2!$A$2:$D$DU2,3,FALSE)

instead of

=VLookup($A$1,Sheet2!$A$2:$D$DU2,2,FALSE)
