match,lookup or vlookup????

[Morphyus C via OfficeKB.com]

Hi guys, I 'm having a bit difficulty finding out the right solution of my
poblem.
Here is the case.

FIRST LIST SECOND LIST
Acct Amt Acct
Amt
4001400 $679 4000086 $1000
4000334 $23456 4000087 $213
4000480 $2776 4001400 $1234
4000764 $565 4000791 $2035
4000772 $454 400125 $2379
4000791 $656 401253 $120

Now what I like to do is (by using some kind a combination of vlookup, lookup,
or match commands) that use the amount of the second list with there
corresponding acct # but if there is any acct match with the first list use
the first list amount. So for instance, acct # 4001400 should display $679
and NOT $1234 and also for acct #4000791 should have the result $656 and not
$2035. The rest accts should have the amount from the second list.
I hope I able to explain it properly.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

One way:

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(D9,A1:B6,2,FALSE)), VLOOKUP(D9,
C16,2,FALSE),VLOOKUP(D9, A1:B6,2,FALSE))

This assumes the first list is in the range a1:b6, and the second list is in
the range c1:d6, and the account number you are looking up is in cell d9.

Thank you L. Clark...actually I should have explain it more. After these two
list I have the third list with just the Acct # but it should populate the $
amt across it as I have mentioned in my posting.

One way:

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(D9,A1:B6,2,FALSE)), VLOOKUP(D9,
C16,2,FALSE),VLOOKUP(D9, A1:B6,2,FALSE))

This assumes the first list is in the range a1:b6, and the second list is in
the range c1:d6, and the account number you are looking up is in cell d9.

Assumptions:

A2:B7 contains your first table

D2:E7 contains your second table

Column G, starting at G2, contains your list of account numbers

Formula:

H2, copied down:

=VLOOKUP(G2,IF(COUNTIF($A$2:$A$7,G2),$A$2:$B$7,$D$2:$E$7),2,0)

Hope this helps!
