Order of columns in Workbook Connections

FullCity Consulting Inc. · Jul 30, 2008

I am using a workbook connection to pull data from a sql source into a
worksheet. Is there any way to define what order the columns are ordered in
the resulting array? I'd like to be able to put my primary key in the
leftmost column ("A") so I can lokup data using that key in a VLOOKUP
function.

Thanks!

You could always use the versatile index/match to look up on any col, and
return any other col to the left/right of the match col

Try Debra's nice coverage on INDEX/MATCH at her:

There's also some sample workbooks available for d/l & study
