    Re: vlookup not working

    I think you are missing last parameter
    try below
    =VLOOKUP(J2,Sheet2!$B$1:$C$703,2,0)

    Re: vlookup not working

    I usually use =VLOOKUP(J2,Sheet2!$B$1:$C$703,2,FALSE) (false for exact matches) but I think Hemesh's observation is exactly what is missing, I added false and it appears to be returning the values you want.

    glad that helped. if your issue is solved don't forget to mark the post as solved AND thanks for the reputation bump, hopefully Hemish got one too since it was his observation I agreed with.
