    Help to amend vlookup formula

    Hi friends,

    I have created a name 'Standard'. There is a number in column 'AH' and by vlookup I want to get a number in word in column 'AQ'. If I write "DD" instead of "Number" then I get correct output in word in column 'AQ'. What's wrong?
    I want to get the value by vlookup formula in column 'AQ'. The number is in column 'AH'.

    Re: Help to amend vlookup formula

    If the number is inside a string, perhaps just...

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP("*"&your-number&"*",range,column number,0),"")

    If that doesnt work, provide a sample of your data, and show what you want
    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

    Regards

    I don't know why you were overcomplicating it, but this is all you need:

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(AH6,Standard,2,0),"")
