Look up value in dictionary and put the value in cell - Excel

0 votes

I have a table similar to this, to which I want to add a new "DESC" column:

Header_1 Another header
First row_1
Second row_2

On the other hand, I have a table, called dictionary with the description:

Code DESC
row_1 Description1
row_2 Description2

What formula can I use in Excel to get the value of the DESC row when the code matches?And let it stay like this:

Header_1 Another header DESC
First row_1 Description1
Second row_2 Description2

 Use VLOOKUP, to make sure that your "Another header" ("Code") is unique.

Formula in C6 (and dragged down) is =VLOOKUP(B6,A2:B3,2,FALSE)

Result:
