    VLOOKUP results table won’t allow number format changes.

    Hi all.

    VLOOKUP results table won’t allow number format changes.

    Source data table has 0, 1 and 2 decimal places and will allow all format changes to be made.
    Results data table (in another tab) returns the correct data but some are the correct number of decimal places and some have less, but, the results data ignores any attempt to make this kind of change. I’ve tried changing the type of data to eg currency or text, all of those are ignored, still the same.

    Pls help!

    Change the VLOOKUP to this:

    =VALUE(VLOOKUP(...,...,...,...))

    Replace the placeholder dots with your syntax.
