    I keep getting NA# 'S not sure where i'm going wrong :(

    I'm working on this excel document and it keeps returning NA#'s for some of the results when i drag them down, its on the 'orders spreadsheet' under 'order value'

    i'm working with the 'orders' speadsheet and the 'prices' spreadsheet

    any help on how i can fix this error and where im going wrong would be great

    thanks

    I think you need to make the lookup table reference absolute....

    try:

    =VLOOKUP(E2,Prices!$G$4:$J$10,D2+1)

    copied down
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    As it's an assignment I will give you a clue.

    When you copy your formula down the reference to the lookup table is changing.
    You need to make the reference to the prices table absolute.

    Press the F4 key..

    Everytime you press it, it toggles where the absolute ref is placed.
