Hi Power Community:

 

I have a problem, I need to call data from a table with a function similar to vlookup. I don't know how to do it, and I don't know how to create the database containing the data I need to call.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Regards.

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for reaching out to the community!

     

    Please can you give some more details.

     

    1) Is your data currently in Excel / SharePoint List?

    2) Is it a single table of data or a relational database with multiple linked tables of data?

    3) What kind of size are we talking about - how many records, 10s, 100s or 1000s, and how many fields?

    4) What type of data is it (in general terms).

    Hi Jason, Thanks for your response:

     

    I have an Excel table where the price data is stored and which I need to calculate with the captured data in a Sharepoint List. The idea is:

    1) Concatenate two fields from the Sharepoint list, to search for a product brand from the Excel table.

    2) Select the type of product from the same Excel table.

    3) Multiply the quantity of product requested in the sharepoint list to:

    a) validate the client's budget.

    b) approve the sale.

    4) Select data about producto and save in the Sharepoint List.

     

    About your questions:

     

    1) Is your data currently in Excel / SharePoint List?.  Data is in Sharepoint list and Excel.

    2) Is it a single table of data or a relational database with multiple linked tables of data? Is a single table with branches, productos and prices.

    3) What kind of size are we talking about - how many records, 10s, 100s or 1000s, and how many fields? Excel table has a 500 rows and 21 columns

    4) What type of data is it (in general terms).Integer, boolean and String.

    I can use VLOOKUP, but not SharePoint lists (yet). VLOOKUP is being replaced by XLOOKUP but not rolled out to all Office 365, not on my Work computer yet...
