Question

I am trying to read in a table called operations that looks like so

"id";"name";
"1";"LASER CUTTING";
"2";"DEBURR";
"3";"MACHINING";
"4";"BENDING";
"5";"PEM";
"6";"WELDING";
"7";"PAINT PREPARATION";
"8";"PAINTING";
"9";"SILKSCREEN PREPARATION";
"10";"SILKSCREEN";
"11";"ASSEMBLY - PACKAGING";
"12";"LASER PREP";

I want to have a column in a worksheet that gets the appropriate name based on value of an operation_id column in another worksheet.
How do I lookup a particular cell in another worksheet dependent on the value of a cell?

Example

userid, operation_id, operation_name
bob, 3, MACHINING

Answer 1

Maybe the Lookup() function would work better for you.
