You may try this...<br>In B2<br><pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43059303-1">=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,D:E,2,0),"")</code></pre>and copy it down.<br><br>Btw if your main concern is, why the formula doesn't return <strong>Windows 10</strong> in B5, that's because <strong>computer6</strong> (A5) doesn't match with <strong>computer 6</strong> (D7).<br><br>

You may try this...
In B2


=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,D:E,2,0),"")

and copy it down.

Btw if your main concern is, why the formula doesn't return Windows 10 in B5, that's because computer6 (A5) doesn't match with computer 6 (D7).

I have the attached spreadsheet which I want to find the OS of each computer in column A using column D and column E. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
For example, computer 1 in column A appears in column D, I want the OS in column E being copied to column B. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Please advise a formula I can use in column B. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Please note that I have about 3000 rows in the spreadsheet. &nbsp;<br />

Many thanks.<br />
