I have a problem regarding Google spreadsheets. I'm not very experienced in google spreadsheets but I know some basics.
My problem is:
I have google spreadsheet document with two sheets called categories
and usages
.
Categories:
Usages:
In the categories sheet I have two columns with main category
and sub category
. There are many sub categories which belong to the same main categories and therefore I have ~ 15 sub categories and ~ 3 main categories.
In the other sheet I want to write down usages of each sub category. Next to the selected sub category should be the main category automatically. I can select the sub category via data-validation. The only thing (ha!) I want to have is to find out which main category belongs to the selected sub category.
I imagine something like "look for sub category x
in categories
sheet and find the value right next of it and write it here".
How can I find a value (and its left cell value) in another spreadsheet similar to my current value?
