    VLookup - Not working correctly

    Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? VLOOKUP is not working correctly. I'm trying to lookup student name and paste a URL for each student. It works on some but not all. What am I doing wrong??? Thanks for your help!

    In I2 copied down:

    =VLOOKUP(A2&"*",'Enrolled Student Listing'!$A$2:$E$1195,5,FALSE)

    Some of the names are NOT exact matches (e.g. Daniel Gaines is NOT the same as Daniel Gaines Jr.).

    By the way, I presume this is all dummy, desensitised data and not real people and their details???

    Well, I guess it was sensitive data, as you have removed the workbook.

    Thanks for marking the thread as solved, but a 'thank you' would have been courteous.
