VLOOKUP formula?

I need help with a formula, I think I need to use VLOOKUP.

I have a group of zipcodes of specific locations in column A, and a blank column B for the congressional districts of those zip codes. In column C I have all possible zipcodes, and in column D I have the appropriate congressional district number matched up with each zip code in column C. (I.e., if Ihave zip code 11111 in column C, and that area code is in district 1, thanI have the number 1 in column D). I need excel to first match zipcodes from column A and C, and when they match, see which district number is attached to the column C zip code, and paste that into column B.

VLOOKUP formula? Or am I on the wrong track here?

try in B1:
=VLOOKUP(A1,$C$1:$D$1000,2,0)
modify the range C1:D1000 to suit and copy down

Claus-

Thanks for the reply- I'm a bit over my head here, my excel formula skills are pretty basic- was your suggestion to post that exact formula into B1 and then change the D$1000 to a different number to accommodate my range?

If so, I'm getting a "circular reference warning" and not information.

in which range are the zip codes and the districts?
You will compare zip code from A with zip code from C and return
district from D?
The formula is correct. You only have to change the rows for D if your
table has less or more rows than 1000.
And if you get #N/A the zip code doesn't exist or the spelling in A and
C is different.

The zip code range is from 98004-98597. There are 10 congressional districts (listed numbers,not words), and there are 21,328 location specific zips in A they need to be matched to. Not sure what the issue is, I'll try explanining it again to see if I said something wrong.

Column A- A unsorted list of 21, 328 zipcodes, that represent certain business locations.

Column B- blank, where hopefully the congressional district that corresponds to these codes will go

Column C- All zip codes for the region, in order from 98004 to 98597.

Column D- The congressional district for each one of the column C zip codes.. For example, 98004 is the first zip code in the area I'm looking at, and is thus C1. In D1 is "1" which is its congressional district. I want excel to then look at column A, see a 98004 area code, and put a one in its respective B column.

Your whole PUBLIC files became accessible.

I opened download the VLookup file and surprise, your file formulas are
translated to french

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,$C$1:$D$1000,2,0),"")

=SIERREUR(RECHERCHEV(A1;$C$1:$D$1000;2;0);"")

thanks

the built in functions will be translated to the language version the
opening Excel is.
I create all examples in German. But everyone can open them in his own
language.
