How to use formulas in excel when exporting data using forms?

The formula I am using is

=IF(COUNTBLANK(B12)=0, VLOOKUP(B12,lookupTab,2,0), "")

It all works perfectly UNTIL I submit a new answer on the forms then the cells shift when new information is added and therefore it doesn't correctly give the answer.

    Hi @Alix Jenevizian,

    Did the "lookupTab" table is fixed? Or you need to add more data into the "lookupTab" table?

    Try to use the absolute reference in the formula: https://www.excelmojo.com/absolute-reference-in-excel/
