Hello,

I have a spreadsheet that what i am trying to accomplish is that when an address is typed into a column it will look up and match the town and will come back with the county it is in. I have two pages Master and Town & City. Master contains the address (B) and county (C) column. Town & City has the table that contains a list of towns and cities (A) and the corresponding county (B). I have tried various if then statements and lookups and can't quite seem to get it. Any help would be amazing.

Hi Mohalloran,

Try the VLOOKUP formula:
=VLOOKUP(The address you want to lookup, the matrix addresses and countries are located, 2, 0)

The formula I have typed in is =vlookup([@[Address]],'Town &City'!A:B, 'Town & City'!B:B,2) and it just keeps returning #REF

Hi Mohalloran,

Let's say the address you want to look up is in sheet 'Town &City' C2.
The matrix with addresses and countries are located in sheet 'Master' B:C.
Then the formula in sheet 'Town &City' D2 will look like:

=VLOOKUP(C2,'Master'!B:C,2,0)

The value in C2 will be looked up in column B of Master sheet. The corresponding value in column C of Master sheet will be returned, hence the 2 (second column in the matrix) after the 2nd comma. The final zero means that the addresses in column B of Master sheet don't have to be in alphabetical order.

Best regards,
Trowa
