The following formula can help you to extract the matching values based on one key column, please do as this:

1. Enter this formula: =IFERROR(vlookup(A2,IMPORTRANGE("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Plv5B3v3VfPtdWSJ4zFM6DKPY0MhcCxiYS0vYrxORHE/edit#gid=543140280","my data!A2:B12"),2,false),) into a blank cell where you want to vlookup the matching value.

Note: In the above formula:

  • A2 is the cell which you want to vlookup its matching value;
  • https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Plv5B3v3VfPtdWSJ4zFM6DKPY0MhcCxiYS0vYrxORHE/edit#gid=543140280 is the file address which you want to vlookup from;
  • my data!A2:B12: is the sheet name and cells range you want to search from;
  • 2: indicates the column number that your matched value is returned.

2. Then press Enter key to get the first result, see screenshot:

3. And then select the formula cell and drag the fill handle down to the cells you want to extract the matching value as you need, see screenshot:

Hi,

As I look at the above examples in vlookup of two google sheets, I haven't seen the same as what I want my google sheet to be happen.

I have a "Form Responses", the most important for this sheet is the Mem_ID, Month and Amount.

In my other sheet "Sinking Fund 2023", in Members Contribution, I am creating the formula under "Jan1st, Jan2nd, etc." and to be looked up from Form Responses.

If MemID_2022-0001 has a response for Jan1st, the amount should be added in Jan1st column and if it is Jan2nd this should be automatic added in Sinking Fund 2023 google sheet.

Any one knows how to do the formula. This also needs the importrange function since we are using 2 google sheets.

Below are the links of my google sheet.

Hi, I tried using the formulae, but my values are returned blank. I do have access to the files as I created two mock sheets to test my formulae.

Thanks for this! However, this is only working on about half of my items. I have copied the text exactly as it appears and made sure the format type is the same as well. About half of my data is being found, while the other half is empty (due to the iferror formula). has anyone else found this or have a solution?

You'll need to protect the range from changing on drag on the importrange.

=IFERROR(vlookup(A2,IMPORTRANGE("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Plv5B3v3VfPtdWSJ4zFM6DKPY0MhcCxiYS0vYrxORHE/edit#gid=543140280","my data!$A$2:$B$12"),2,false),)

without that, as you drag down the formula it will automaticallyl adjust the range. The second-row cell will be A3:B13 next A4:B14 removing possible matching values from your range. You don't really need the $ in front of the column but I leave it in to freeze the exact column in case I move it around.

Update for this answer, in my case the syntax should use semicolon instead of comma for working

Can someone help please. I am getting #N/A as a result. I have even tried to put in the importrange formula in a blank cell but still no luck. I have also tried using the LINK SHARE url instead of the actual URL.


Thanks

Have you granted access for "importrange" part? If not, you need to put formula "=importrange("link, range") in a blank cell first. Then you will have a pop-up window asking you to grant the access. Now, the full formula should work.
I had exactly the same problem before and found this solution on another website. Hope it works. Good luck.
