One of the Excel users here at UM has encountered a bizarre problem.
He is generating a report from our accounting system which he pastes into an excel spreadsheet. He is using VLOOKUP to get data from the pasted report which is used to update MTD and YTD accounts.
In general, it works fine except for this oddity:
In account numbers that are structured as XXXXX-XX (where X is a numeric digit), the VLOOKUP function works fine. In some situiations where account numbers are structured without a suffix XXXXXX VLOOKUP will not return information UNLESS the users goes to the target sheet and simply clicks in the cell that should be updated. At that point, the data comes across. Whats Gives?
Thanks for the help.
