Hi
I'm not sure if there is something I'm missing or if I don't know how to use VLOOKUP but it seems to be behaving really strangely. I have a database at work that is supposed to use supplier numbers to bring back a supplier name but it just gives #NA result. I've checked and re-checked the formula to no avail. I've tried formatting the data, copying and pasting to ensure that they are the same but nothing works. I created a dummy worksheets with two columns and 4 rows as per the attached. If I change the value (B2 on sheet 2) I'm looking up to the fruit, it will bring up the #NA value. If I change the value to look for to the shop then it brings it up, even if I change the reference column from 1 to 2 it will always bring a result for the shop and #NA for the fruit name. I'm totally confused, perhaps I'm missing something. I'm using excel 2013.
