Try nesting in an INDEX function with a specified row of 1.<\/p>

=VLOOKUP(INDEX(Code:Code, 1)<\/strong>, {Cross Sheet Reference}, .......)<\/p>"},{"commentID":390435,"body":"

Try using INDEX(Code:Code, 1) instead of $Code$1<\/p>

Note: Also, I would recommend you use INDEX\/MATCH instead of VLOOKUP. Much more reliable.<\/p>

I hope this helps you.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":204,"urlcode":"Forms","name":"Forms"},{"tagID":254,"urlcode":"Formulas","name":"Formulas"}]},{"discussionID":108902,"type":"question","name":"Average with criteria","excerpt":"Hi I need some help regarding making an average.

Hi @TorAtle Myrmel<\/a>,<\/p>

If you're after an average for all the %ages in \"Fullført\" against rows containing \"Mekanisk\" in \"System\" then you would use the following formula:<\/p>

=AVERAGEIF([System]:[System], CONTAINS(\"Mekanisk\", @cell), [Fullført]:[Fullført])<\/p>

Example:<\/p>

\n
\n \n \"image.png\"<\/img><\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Hope this helps, but if you've any questions or comments then just post! 😊<\/span><\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]},{"discussionID":108884,"type":"question","name":"Join formula of two sheets","excerpt":"Hello - Shown is one sheet but two sources separate data .

Here's another option:<\/p>

In your sheet, create a third section that adds the results of the first two. It would have the same rows, but the formula for each row would add the cells of section 1 + section 2.<\/p>

Add a helper column called ShowInReport as a Check Box and check all the rows in the third section. <\/p>

Create a report and tell it to show you only Section 3 (where the ShowInReport is true.<\/p>

I hope that makes sense.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]}],"initialPaging":{"nextURL":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/api\/v2\/discussions?page=2&includeChildCategories=1&type%5B0%5D=Question&excludeHiddenCategories=1&siteSectionID=0&sort=-hot&limit=3&expand%5B0%5D=all&expand%5B1%5D=-body&expand%5B2%5D=insertUser&expand%5B3%5D=lastUser&status=accepted","prevURL":null,"currentPage":1,"total":10000,"limit":3},"title":"Trending Posts","subtitle":null,"description":null,"noCheckboxes":true,"containerOptions":[],"discussionOptions":[]}">
