Hello,
I just can't understand why the vlookup formula with choose keeps me delivering #N/A Error (see attached file)
I need to enter the SKU code in C3 and in B3 pops up the EAN
What's wrong with the formula?!
With Index and Match everything works fine, but i would like to use the vlookup+choose functions.
Thanks for the cooperation,
Merry Chritmas,
Miguel

Hi Miguel,
Thanks for sharing this method of Vlookup + Choose which can solve a lot of pain for users that still insist to use vlookup, however suffering the pain of each time moving the primary key to the first row, didn't know this method until you share
This will be another way for those users who like vlookup and do not want to switch to Index&Match or Power Query (merge)
Cheers !
Note : I had propagated VLOOKUP(C3,CHOOSE({1,2},$C$6:$C$18,$B$6:$B$18),2,FALSE) by changing the underlining range to other field

Thanks for your approach,
I'm runnig Excel 16 in english, but in Windows 10 in portuguese, and the argumenst in Excel are separated by a semicolon(;) because of the regional settings (when I download a excel file for example from myOnlineTranighub it automaticaly turns comma(,) into semicolon(;) to separate the formulas arguments. But your remark light me some thoughts, perhaps thre's a problem wtihin the Brackts {} and so it is, due to regional settings the symbol to separate arguments inside brakets{} is \ {1\2} and the formula givesme a valid result. Thanks, you give me some clue. Thanks also to Chris Yap.
=VLOOKUP(C3;CHOOSE({1\2};$C$6:$C$18;$B$6:$B$18);2;FALSE) the formula inWindws 10 in portuguese.
Have a Happy Chritmas and a great year of 2020
