    invalid reference vookup

    Not returning on a vlookup, using

    =vlookup(a2,[UrlIndexed.xlsx]ScrapeBox!$A:$B,2,false)

    To me that says range a and b?

    the two files are included, never had all these problems before but I am tired.

    Thanks.

    =vlookup(a2,[UrlIndexed.xlsx]ScrapeBox!$A:$B,2,false)

    I'm trying to return URL indexed column, yes or no.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Actually your excel (backlinkanalysisM2MM) spreadsheet is opening in Compatibility Mode.

    To get out of compatibility mode, you open the excel (backlinkanalysisM2MM) file, then select a "save as" with it and then select excel workbook. That will put this particular file in excel 2007 native mode.

    Then you use the same vlookup formula. It will work.

    =vlookup(a2,[UrlIndexed.xlsx]ScrapeBox!$A:$B,2,false)

    Thanks

    As far as I can see there's nothing wrong with your formula.

    Mind you I don't actually know which sheet it's meant to be on and therefore what the A2 value is.

    Re: invalid reference vookup

    Alternately, restrict your formula a bit
    i.e.
    =VLOOKUP(A2,[UrlIndexed.xlsx]ScrapeBox!$A1:$B500,2,FALSE)

    My 2?

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires
