    Simple VLOOKUP...

    Hopefully somebody can figure out my stupid mistake (at least that seems to be the case). I'm trying to do a simple vlookup between two spreadsheets (in the same workbook). I want to look up the part number on one sheet and find the part number's description on the other sheet (to fill in missing information on the first sheet). However I can't get it to work. I don't know if I have syntax wrong or some other simple human error. My pride is suffering...

    The workbook is attached. Any help would be great. Thanks!

    =VLOOKUP(C4, LIST!C4:L26, 3, FALSE)


    You where not using the List sheet but the Table sheet.
    The lookup range had the TYPE as the first column rather than PartNumber.
    The return column was 5 instead of 3

    Thanks, Andy.

    That was indeed my problem. I didn't realize/forgot (take your pick) that was necessary.
    You where not using the List sheet but the Table sheet.
    I forgot to change the range back to LIST when I was fiddling around with things trying to find a fix. Oops.
