    Vlook up

    Dear all

    My vlookup command gives me #N/A. My vlook up variable is 149441MaxiTRANS Industries Ltd38047 and it is available in the dataset 149441MaxiTRANS Industries Ltd38047. Can you please advice me where it went wrong.



    =VLOOKUP(E2,'[M&A without Insider Trading_Parent company details.xlsx]Insider trading database'!$A$4:$AJ$3132,33,0)

    Thanks
    Shams

    Re: Vlook up

    Hi, mahershams,

    item has to be found in the first column of the search matrix (in your sample that should be Column E, not A). If itīs located in another column than the first one use Index/Match instead of VLookup.

    Ciao,

    Re: Vlook up

    Hi HahoBe

    May be I did not get you. When I use E4 instead of A4, now it shows #REF!

    Please suggest me.

    Regards
    Shams

    Hi Hahobe

    Does it mean that vlookup could not able to retrieve the data without match function. Would you be able to advice me?
