I have data which ends in an *. I found out the hard way that a VLOOKUP will treat the * as a Wild Card. Is there a way to have Excel not treat that trailing * as a Wildcard?
For example cell a1 contains a part number text value of A12345*
Cell b1 contains =VLOOKUP(A1, my range goes here, 2, FALSE)
My problem is that I want an exact match on part number 12345*
Hoping someone can help me.
