    Another Vlookup Issue

    I have sheets and sheets set up with numbers which I look up results in a table.
    This table has been copied from a different software, and there are no repeated entries, nor spaces in between them.

    My vlookup is not returning the value it should. It seems to me as if it is returning the values from a table that was previous inserted in those sheets.

    Any ideas of what the problem is or how to solve it?
    Thanks,
    Ana

    Re: Another Vlookup Issue

    Unless the VLOOKUP is referencing a different workbook, it has no memory of what it did before. If you look at it and it has the form

    =VLOOKUP(A1, [book1.xlsx]sheet2!$A$1:$F$200,4, False) then it's referencing another workbook

    Is your data in alphabetical order? Are you using "False" to search for exact matches? Anything else unusual about your VLOOKUP?

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires

    Post the formula you are using, or better still a sample of the workbook itself, might be a quick fix for someone if we can see it

    Please keep in mind that you know exactly what you are doing, what your data and formulas look like, and what you expect - we have no such knowledge. You need to be far more specific with your question and the info you are working with
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
