How do I copy the cell to the right using relative refs in a formula?
So I want to check down col A and where I find a match in G, say in row 7, I want to copy H7 to j7?
Got as far as this: I'm guessing the bit I need to add is to replace "yes"
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,$G$2:$G$5000,1,0)),"NO","YES")
Sorry if this is a piss take, but I've been hitting google all morning and am stumped!
Edit: it has to be relative as I need to search down a long list of rows.

I think you remove one of the dollar signs. I think it's the one before the letter rather than the one before the number. Hoever thhis is a fast-fading memory so I might be totally wrong.
And you need to replace the "yes" with "balls".
And surely you norfukkers count better using beans? |  |

I'd rather be counting beans for sure.
Thanks for the tip - off to try it. | |

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're asking. Your lookup value is in column A, and your range is column G. If the value in column A occurs in column G, you want to copy the value in column H to column J?
This formula in column J might do the trick, unless I've misunderstood:
=IFERROR(IF(VLOOKUP(A1,$G$1:$G$200,1,0),H1,"-"),0) [Post edited 30 Sep 2020 12:48]

Is this row specific (so only rows where A and G match), or any cases where what's in column G exists somewhere in column A? |  | | |

Thanks for the answer - what's in Col A and G won't match by row, so the latter.
basically, i have a list of countries in Col A (where an order was placed), a list of countries in col G and need to copy a Sage country code for each transaction (country codes in Col H)
I want to end up with:
A / J
Transaction country / Country code | |

Try (in cell J2)
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(G2,$A:$A,0),H2),"") [Post edited 30 Sep 2020 13:03]

You did it! I don't know how (edit, as in I don;t really understand the code but it works), but thanks so much. pm to come [Post edited 30 Sep 2020 13:52]

Ah, it looks like I misunderstood ullaa's request. I thought column G was the primary column for selecting the match, not column A...
If you reverse the A and G in the formula I suggested above, I think it should work too? | | | |

I don't think so because the values in G and H are not synchronised with the values in A so in the formula you posted where you say H2 needs to be a column range and the correct index needs to be selected with the result of the lookup of A against G.
I've not thought about it a lot though so you might be right!

surely with all your extra digits you can just do this by hand and maybe foot?
(sorry I cant offer any actual help but Id be interested to know if you get it sorted) |  |

The numerous extra digits (I'm actually a record breaker in my world) were no use in this case, but thanks to everyone again. | |

I was chuffed when I learnt how to do compound interest on an excel sheet
its a very handy bit of software | |
