Look up duplicate amounts with unique batch numbers

[JHL]

I have two lists in separate spreadsheets, illustrated below. How do I find
a match using the Amount1 field as the key, and match to the second list with
the correct batch number? Both lists are unequal in the number of records.

Thanks for any help.

Amount Batch Number Amount1 (key)
3.45 8123953001 3.45
3.88 8123971001 3.88
4.40 8123872001 4.40
4.43 8123A42001 4.43
4.45 8123970001 4.45
5.03 8123681001 5.03
5.15 8123839001 5.15
5.49 8123571001 5.49
5.49 8123803001 5.49
5.49 8123804001 5.49
5.49 8123983001 5.49
5.49 8123A52001 5.49

assuming your data are in Sheet 1 and the 'Amount 1 (key' value are in A2
down on another sheet put this in b2 and drag down

VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$B$13,2,FALSE)

Mike H, thanks for the reply. However, I had already tried this. The
problem is it doesn't recognize the other batches with the duplicate amount
for 5.49. Vlookup will only match the first batch and repeat that reference
for the other 5.49 items.

Hi,
The Lookup value has to be from a list of unique data.
When your lookup value is 5.49, which batch number do you actually want
returned?
Also, something I didn't understand from your original post, You said you
had 2 lists in separate spreadsheets, but your data is arranged in 3 lists
(Amount, Batch Number, Amount 1)

If possible I would like all amounts (including any duplicates) to be
matched with the batch number found in the 2nd list. For example in the
list with just the amounts, if the single amount list has 3 amounts for
5.49, the second list will most likely have 3 amounts for 5.49 WITH a
unique batch no. I want the 3 unique batch numbers returned in the match.

The lists are in two separate files. The amount & batch is one list.
The singular amount is in another list in a different file.

I hope this helps.
