Matching two cells returning a value in third cell
Hi All,
I am having an extremely hard time with this and hope that I ask the question properly.
Table 1 for arguments sake is....
Train | Train Time |
---|---|
2000 | |
2002 |
Table 2 in a separate sheet for arguments sake is....
Train | Setup Time | Trip Duration | Total Train Time |
---|---|---|---|
2000 | 10 | 55 | 65 |
2002 | 15 | 60 | 75 |
2004 | 20 | 65 | 85 |
So what I am trying to do is in Table 1 Train Time Cell I want to match Train 2000 in Table 1(say cell A1) to Train 2000 in Table 2 using the range of all the cells(A1 through A3). If there is a match between the tables in separate sheets it would return Total Train Time In Table 2 and put that value in Train Time in Table 1. I am dealing with 100's of cells in each table so that is why this is so important to me.
I hope this is not too confusing or I am missing something so easy.
I tried a If Exact function using a cell in table 1 (A1) to cells in table 2 (A1 through A3) and it will return a time value if and only if its A1 in sheet one table 1 matching A1 in sheet 2. If I am to try matching 2002 it will return a false. It is almost like it does not recognize trying to match between a range of cells.
Thank you in advance
