Hi, i am doing a vlookup table matching different drinks in different machine, the formula working very well with the first 10 machine. However, with the new one, machine 2, the result of the formula shows 0 even there is a existing match.

Welcome to the forum.
D1002 on the slot sheet is blank - that's why the lookup is returning zero. It has nothing to do with the machine code in the green cell - this is not referenced on the formula.
Where do you believe there is a match for that cell?

Your method of combining slot number and machine code is flawed
slot number 1 and machine code 32
and
slot number 13 and machine code 2
give identical results (132)
this will be repeated in other cases most likely throughout the sheet
you need to change your concatenation
maybe something like slot & "0000" & machine code.
If you want something done right... find a forum and ask an online expert.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Because =VLOOKUP(B13;'slot layout Data'!$C:$D;2;FALSE) ( for example) finds 132 in C302 and returns 0 as it should. You have duplicate lookup values in col C
Thank you very much the problem has solved
