Is there a JMP function that is equivalent to the Excel VLOOKUP function?

Is there a JMP function that is equivalent to the Excel VLOOKUP function?

I have a data table which includes a column of parts and a separate table with each part and it's corresponding price. In Excel I can easily use VLOOKUP to match the part with it's price.

Can I do this in JMP? Can I do it in a JMP script?

I figured out a solution that works:

dt1 << Join( With( <dt2>), By Matching Columns(col1 == col2));

Below is one other way:

	selrowno = dtcclimits << get rows where( :ID == ID );
	IUCL = Num( Column( dtcclimits, "_UCL" )[selrowno[1]] );

The closest that I have found is update. The difference between join and update is that join creates a new table whereas update adds the columns to the first table.

Col1 from table dt is the reference for col1 from table dt2.

Col2 is the columns with the values that we want to add to table 1.

dt << update (with (dt2), by matching columns (dt:col1==dt2:col1), add columns from update table(:col2));
