Hi,
I am interested in this formula and have tried it but the part where you
type "COLUMN(B2)" just don't work.
Please demostrate again using my example below. I have 2 worksheets ie.
"master" and "copy". I am trying to do a vlookup in "copy" for column B to F.
Master
---------
Row 1 Column A Column B Column C Column D Column E Column F
Row 2 a love dislike gorgeous loser creation
Row 3 b hate scott heaven durian earth
Row 4 c sunshine angie duty rambutan sky
Row 5 d rain meng positive excellent loch
Row 6 e beauty byte negative good ness
Copy
-----
Row 1 Column A Column B Column C Column D Column E Column F
Row 2 a
Row 3 b
Row 4 c
Row 5 d
Row 6 e
So, how do I do just ONE vlookup in "copy" COLUMN B and drag the formula
across from column C to G?
My existing formula in column B is
=VLOOKUP(A2,[Book1]Sheet1!$A$1:$F$6,COLUMN(),FALSE) and it works for column B
but when I try dragging to column C to F, it just returns error.
Please advise. Thanks thanks!
Appreciate your patience!

To avoid the confusion over which column the formula goes into, you
can use COLUMN(B1) for the first formula. Also, H2 needs to be fixed,
so I suggest using:
=VLOOKUP($H2,'[- Master.xls]Pricing'!$A$2:$G$4611,COLUMN(B2),0)
Put this in I2 and then copy across - the B2 becomes C2, D2, E2 etc,
which returns 2, 3, 4, 5 etc through the COLUMN function.
Hope this helps.

try in column I:
=VLOOKUP(H2,'[- Master.xls]Pricing'!$A$2:$G$4611,column()-7,FALSE)
I=column 9
B=column 2
9-7=2
You get an error because it tries to retrieve data from column I in your
Master w/sheet when you only specified 7 columns.(A:G)
Read my first reply again!
[If data from B (2) is going to column D(4) then use COLUMN()-2 i.e 4-2
=2. ]
:
When I do this: =VLOOKUP(H2,'[-
Master.xls]Pricing'!$A$2:$G$4611,column(),FALSE) I get an error. Data from Col B thru ColG in the example below is being pulled over to another workbook and being placed in Col I thru Col N.
:
Replace the 2 with COLUMN() or Column()-n
If data from B (2) is going to column D(4) then use COLUMN()-2 i.e 4-2 =2.
just copy across.

I have two worksheets and I can pull the ColB column of data over to where I
want it with vlookup but how can I then get columns C thru G over to my
worksheet? I am trying to pull forecasted prices for the same row of
information. Here is my current function formula: =VLOOKUP(H2,'[-
Master.xls]Pricing'!$A$2:$G$4611,2,FALSE) It would be nice to have the 2
change to a three when I drag the formula to the right. And then drag again
and have the 3 change to a 4, etc. Or what is the answer. Thanks in
advance. The sheet I am pulling data from looks somewhat like this:
ColA ColB ColC ColD ColE ColF ColG
Part Number Year1 Year2 Year3 Year4 Year5 Year6
XXXX1111 $1.00 $1.25 $1.50 $1.75 $2.00 $2.25- Hide quoted text -
