    VLOOKUp not returning data....

    Hi guys,

    I`m using a vlookup but not seeing the data returned that I expect

    oN my sheet there are 2 tabs.

    On my first tab (main):

    I have a coulmn called VLOOKUP, column M. Where is no N/A there is a Barcode (13 digit number).

    On my 2nd tab, P.V. ex, I am trying to insert a vlookup in cell F5 to say:

    =VLOOKUP(A5,Main!$C$14:$M$5617,7,FALSE)

    bASICALLY if cell A5 is on the main tab, which it should be in column D, then return the barcode/value from column M... I am getting N/A any reason why pelase?

    Thank you

    It seems to be completely wrong!

    As far as I can see, the lookup value is to be found in column D and column M is 10 columns away from that to the right:

    =VLOOKUP(A5,Main!$D$14:$M$5617,10,FALSE)

    Hi Rayted,

    The first column in your lookup range needs to align with the value you're looking up. In other words you're looking up a value in column D, so column D needs to be the start of your lookup range. You were using column C.

    Try this:

    =VLOOKUP(A5,Main!$D$14:$M$5617,10,FALSE)

    Regards,

    Snook

    Your VLOOKUP is wrong

    =VLOOKUP(A5,Main!$D$14:$M$5617,10,FALSE)

    Most Barcode values are "N/A" in column M
