In Excel, how can I use the LEFT function inside of an INDEX/MATCH? -
so problem this:
sheet 1 has pivot table, sheet 2 has comparable data , formula, feed getpivotdata formula.
sheet 1 entities (row names) looks this: 123456_abc
on sheet 2 this: 123456
i'm trying use index/match function full entity names sheet 1 without having insert new column:
=index('sheet 1'!a:a, match('sheet 2'!a12, left('sheet 1'!a:a, find("_", 'sheet 1'!a:a&"_")-1),0)
i'm following guideline:
=index (column return value from, (match (lookup value, column lookup against, 0))
its not working. have suggestions?
edit: reason, not showing _ in between " " after find
as requested @pnuts
as doing string operations on whole column, work when entering formula in array type - once formula typed in, instead of pressing enter
, press ctrl+shift+enter
