Excel Match, VLookup, Index Functions

See an earlier column in 7/2020 here.

Let's say I've got two different Excel tables.  One gives NPI numbers in Column A, and Test Names in Column B, and Test Prices in Column C.   

The other gives NPI numbers in Column A and Lab Name in Column B.

Easy to see where this is going.  I want ONE table that gives:

  • NPI Number, and Lab Name, and Test Name, and Test Price, in four columns on one page.

Basically, you start with the longer table - let's say its NPI + Name + Price.   You insert a new column between NPI and Name.   Now, on a separate sheet, you place the two columns of NPI and Lab Name.  

You go down the empty column, and take the NPI number at its left, and look through the other table from top to bottom until you find a matching NPI.  Then, you insert the Lab Name next to that NPI (in the second table) into the empty column in the first table.

Here are some instructions.
