Hello Everyone,

I’m trying to change all the customer id’s in column A to the corresponding
ship to id’s in column F. There’s a one to many relationship between F and A.
I need a formula that will look up the values in column A. Then look for a
matching number in column D. When it finds a matching number between column
A and D, take the ship to id in column F that is on the same row as the
matching customer id in column D and place it on the appropriate
row in column C.




customer_id A customer_name B C customer_id D customer_name E ship_to_id F
1288 INDUSTRY TECNOLOGICAL 1264 Quality Hyd. and Machining 24267
1288 INDUSTRY TECNOLOGICAL 1265 Northside Implement 24278

So in this example what I would end up with is this;

customer_id A customer_name B C customer_id D customer_name E ship_to_id F
1288 INDUSTRY TECNOLOGICAL 1264 Quality Hyd. and Machining 24267
1288 INDUSTRY TECNOLOGICAL 1265 Northside Implement 24278

1295 EVERGREEN SUPPLY 1290 PARTS UNLIMITED 24313
1295 EVERGREEN SUPPLY 1295 EVERGREEN SUPPLY 24314
1295 EVERGREEN SUPPLY

customer_id A customer_name B C customer_id D customer_name E ship_to_id F
1288 INDUSTRY TECNOLOGICAL 24312 1264 Quality Hyd. and Machining 24267
1288 INDUSTRY TECNOLOGICAL 24312 1265 Northside Implement 24278
