Help with Lookup / Match functions

[Dee1]

I have a database prg. from which reports are export to Excel. But there is a particular report that shows code instead of actual headings. Let me give example

Database Reoprt

Depots f11001 f11010 f11015 f11049
Onitsh-dep-stock 0 0 3 27
Enug-wh1-stock 0 0 0 0
Owerri-dep-stock 0 0 0 31
P.harc-dep-stock 0 0 2 29

My Normal Report Templat

S/N Depots RKSF STM Cnct RS
1 Onitsh-dep-stock 0 0 3 2
2 Enug-wh1-stock 0 0 0
3 Owerri-dep-stock 0 0 0 3
4 P.harc-dep-stock 0 0 2 2

The codes and actual items

f11001 RKS
f11010 ST
f11015 Cnc
f11049 RS

I need a link to automate the link between the two files so I wont have to enter/replace the codes each time I run the report

Thanks in anticipation of your help

Hi
you already received some answers to this question in your old thread.
Please stay in the original thread
did the solutions work for you?? and if not what goes wrong?

Insert a new sheet and name it Admin.
Enter the following in, say, A2:B5 on Admin:

{"RKSF","f11001";"STM","f11010";"Cnct","f11015";"RSM","f11049"}

which is your code data with columns reversed. Select A2:B5, name the
selection CodeTable via the Name Box on the Formula Bar.

Let A1:E5 on sheet DB Report house:

{"Depots","f11001","f11010","f11015","f11049";"Onitsh-dep-stock",0,0,3,27;"E
nug-wh1-stock",0,0,0,0;"Owerri-dep-stock",0,0,0,31;"P.harc-dep-stock",0,0,2,
29}

Let A1:F5 house your Normal Report Template with A1:F1 housing:

{"S/N","Depots","RKSF","STM","Cnct","RSM"}

and A2:B5 housing:

{1,"Onitsh-dep-stock";2,"Enug-wh1-stock";3,"Owerri-dep-stock";4,"P.harc-dep-
stock"}

What you need is a formula that you can enter in C2, copy across, then down:

=VLOOKUP($B2,'DB Report'!$A:$E,MATCH(VLOOKUP(C$1,CodeTable,2,0),'DB
Report'!$A$1:$E$1,0),0)

I have a database prg. from which reports are export to Excel. But there

is a particular report that shows code instead of actual headings. Let me
give example:

Database Reoprt:

Depots f11001 f11010 f11015 f11049
Onitsh-dep-stock 0 0 3 27
Enug-wh1-stock 0 0 0 0
Owerri-dep-stock 0 0 0 31
P.harc-dep-stock 0 0 2 29

My Normal Report Template

S/N Depots RKSF STM Cnct RSM
1 Onitsh-dep-stock 0 0 3 27
2 Enug-wh1-stock 0 0 0 0
3 Owerri-dep-stock 0 0 0 31
4 P.harc-dep-stock 0 0 2 29

The codes and actual items:

f11001 RKSF
f11010 STM
f11015 Cnct
f11049 RSM

I need a link to automate the link between the two files so I wont have to

enter/replace the codes each time I run the report.
