    Re: Vlookup not working

    Firstly your formula is slightly incorrect. THe 2nd argument needs to start on the column you're looking for the value in. In your sample workbook this should be C not A.
    =VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!$C$1:$J$11,8,0)

    Secondly, on Sheet1 there is a double space before the hyphen and on Sheet2 it's only a single space.

    Fix those two things and it should work.

    Re: Vlookup not working

    If you cannot change the double space for any reason then you could use this formula

    =VLOOKUP(SUBSTITUTE(A2," "," "),Sheet2!$C$1:$J$11,8,0)
