![]() ![]() You can use this array formula for your cases by replacing H2:H66 with your range. Follow these steps: Select a cell in a new column where you want to display the comparison results (e.g., cell C2). You can do this using the UNIQUE function, which is available in Excel 365 or Excel Online. It would also be great to exclude empty cells in the array. To implement the formula, select an array, which will be not less than the arrays in your VLOOKUP formula, insert the following formula to the formula bar and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter for Windows ( Command+Return for Mac): IFERROR is used to replace the #N/A with blank cells.1 – the column to return the matching values from.E:E – the range to look up (third column) against the matching values returned from the comparison of the first and second columns.VLOOKUP(A:A,C:C,1,FALSE) – the comparison of columns A (first column) and B (second column).In our case, the VLOOKUP formula will look as follows =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A:A,C:C,1,FALSE),""),E:E,1,FALSE),"") The same logic will apply for bigger numbers of columns to compare – you need to narrow down the comparison to two columns. Then, we need to compare the third column with the identified matches.First we need to compare two columns and identify the matches.The logic of the formula is the following: VLOOKUP (SUBSTITUTE (A1,',',' '),B:B,1,FALSE) Order: If the order of the same name is different in column A and column B, and there are a lot of such instances, you might have to consider reordering names before looking them up. VLOOKUP will help us compare the values from these columns to identify the values that are present in all of the columns. In the dataset, we have three columns: Old users, New users, and Expected users. Let’s see how we can make a comparison of three columns. We already blogged about how to compare two columns in Excel using VLOOKUP. Now you can drag the formula down to return matching values for all the users. Excel VLOOKUP multiple columns syntax =VLOOKUP("lookup_value",lookup_range, ,FALSE) Now put all of the above together as follows: VLOOKUP (lookup value, range containing the lookup value, the column number in the range containing the return value, Approximate match (TRUE) or Exact match (FALSE)). But a small tweak will do the job for us. If you don't specify anything, the default value will always be TRUE or approximate match. The basic format of the VLOOKUP only returns a single value. For this, we need to look up these three columns. ![]() Our goal is to learn the car, color, and country for a specific user name. ![]()
