    Vlookup fail, plz help!

    Hi guys,

    I'm trying to do a vlookup that looks at different letter ratings (AAA,+AA,AA,AA-,A+,A,A-,etc.) and give that letter rating a numeric value from 0 to 100 that is in an array in another worksheet. But for some reason, my vlookup doesnt seem to recognize the letter rating either in the main worksheet or in the reference table with the numeric scale in it. I'm not sure whats wrong. Please help!

    I've attached my 2 worksheets in the following example:

    Thanks for the help!

    P.S. The Vlookup is in column U of the spreadsheet

    Use this formula in U2:

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(E2,CreditRatingScale!$A$2:$B$23,2,0),"")

    Notice that I have changed the 2 that you had at the end of the formula to a zero, as well as wrapping IFERROR( ... ,"") around the formula to avoid errors.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    I think OP should first learn the definition of VLOOKUP():

    =VLOOKUP(Value you want to look up, range where you want to lookup the value, the column number in the range containing the return value, Exact Match or Approximate Match – indicated as 0/FALSE or 1/TRUE)
