How can I used the vlookup function if the "lookup value" I'm trying to find in a range of data contains quotes, ex.:
Fluorescent, (1) 18" T12 lamp
Let's say that lookup value is in cell O10, my table array is in $A$!:$H$!100, the column index is 7; I tried this formula first:
=VLOOKUP(O10,$A$1:$H$100,7,FALSE)
and I get the #N/A error.
I was going to use the substitute function to replace the " with a ? (single character wildcard), so I tried:
=VLOOKUP(SUBSTITUTE(O16, """, "?"),$A$1:$H$140,7,FALSE)
but that won't work either.
Any suggestions, please? Much appreciated.
