Mixed text and number vlookup reference

Try:

Formula:

=VLOOKUP(--B2,DATA!$A$2:$B$3709,2,0)

Regards, TMS

how about this, but it requires a helper column. Helper column begins in col C of the data sheet. make it =--A2 and drag down. Then use this in Req Format
=INDEX(DATA!B:B,MATCH(--B2,DATA!C:C,0)) and drag down.

EDIT: sorry, wrote put the helper in D, no, put it in col C instead, corrected info.

Try:

Formula:

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(--B2,DATA!$A$2:$B$3709,2,0),VLOOKUP(B2&"",DATA!$A$2:$B$3709,2,0))

But it would be better if you formatted the cells as general.

Nice Trevor, sometimes I forget about adding something in under iferror.

You're welcome.

@Sambo: thanks for the rep
