    Exclamation Vlookup referencing a vlookup formula

    I just need to know if Excel acknowledges the results of a formula and is able to reference said result in a new formula. The two formulas are as follows:

    Resulting in the SKU number i need from Sheet1 to be in Sheet2
    =vlookup(D3,Sheet1!$a$1:$h$1677,1,FALSE)
    This returns the SKU number I need into Sheet 2, F column, based on the Item # I already have in sheet 2. This formula is working properly and is not the problem

    THIS is the problem:
    NOW I need to return the order amount from Sheet 3 based on the SKU i just looked up in Sheet1 and now have in Sheet 2.

    =vlookup(F2,Sheet3'!$a$1:$h$1677,3,FALSE)

    The problem I have is that I need to use the item number to find the sku number, then need the sku number to find the order amount. BUT NONE of these sheets have all 3 items in it.

    If the SKUs are numeric it could be that formatting is not all the same between the sheets.

    Select column A in Sheet3 and then go to Data|Text to Columns and skip to 3rd dialogue,\

    From the data column format area select General if you want numbers or text if you want text formats.

    Click finish.

    If the sku's have letters in them, check for extra spaces, etc in the supposed match cell.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
