I have 2 excel sheets with product models and price, one from our online store and one from our accounting software.

Not all the models that are online are in the accounting software and vice versa.

I want to be able to compare the model numbers, and if they match to compare the price which is in the other column (looking for price discrepancies).

I believe this can be written with a VLOOKUP, but I keep getting circular references when trying. To make this easier I copied all the columns onto 1 sheet. so it is 1 sheet with 4 colums

A:Model
B:Price
C:Model
D:Price

Here is what I have so far: =VLOOKUP(A2,$C$2:$C$1192,D2,FALSE)

I am getting mostly #N/A but also a bunch of #REF!. Pretty sure the #REF is where there is a match in the array, but for some reason I am getting a circular refference?

What am I missing?

    • The second argument of VLOOKUP must contain a range where the first column is the key you are looking for AND the columns where the corresponding value is located. In your case, it should include columns C (key) and D (value).
    • The third argument of VLOOKUP is the column number. In this case, 2, (C is one, D is 2).

    So in your case, the formula would look like:

    =VLOOKUP(A2,$C$2:$D$1192,2,FALSE)
