My lookup value is in the spreadsheet I am referencing. I've changed all fields to text and I still get #N/A.

Try this formula:
=VLOOKUP(TEXT(A16,"0"),'[Values for Lookup Formula.xlsx]Sheet2'!$A:$B,2,FALSE)

Now the formula =VLOOKUP(TEXT(A16,"0"),'[Values for Lookup Formula.xlsx]Sheet2'!$A:$B,2,FALSE) is sitting in the field. It returned no answer.
That's because "Text" formatting is carried over from previous cell/range. Select cell and change format to "General" and re-evaluate formula.
Thank you CK76, that did work. So for future reference. My fields need to be "General" when doing VLOOKUP? And if they are not I can use the "Text" Function to convert them?
Only when source (i.e. Lookup Range) has number stored as text. All other case, you can use simple cell reference.
Thank you.
