Vlookup based on column number

[Pranee_007]

Hi Team,

I want to add a new column as shown in S1 below based on below conditions:

1. The Value in code needs to be searched only in the column number corresponding to that value in S2 and return the same value if found else 'Not found'.

2. The Value needs to be searched only in that particular column and not the entire data in S2.

For Example say the code is j2 and column number corresponding to that is 6, So it has to search for the value j2 in column 6 of S2 and return j2 if found.

S1:Already in Alteryx workflow -Main source
Code	Column Number	New Column
p2	1	p2
a3	8	a3
r4	3	r4
h6	9	h6
t8	4	Not found
j2	6	j2
m2	2	Not found
v7	7	v7
x8	5	Not found

S2: Outside - Needed to be loaded into Alteryx
