VLookup multiple columns

Question

I am using VLookup function which looks up multiple values which are present in the column. This works very well but just takes a lot of time as I have 100,000 rows in the E

Answer 1

You could try doing a Range.Find to see if the value exists at all in lookup column before proceeding. You are looping through every item in lookup column only to find it isn't there. If it were me, I would do a Range.find to see if lookup value is in lookup_column. If it is then you could do a countif to see how many occurrences there are...if there is only one occurrence, use plain old VLookup...and only fall back into your process if there is more than one occurrence.....may work....of course if Find fails, bail out of the function.

Another option is to load the lookup_column into any array...and process the array rather than the range.mnthat can sometimes help.
