    Re: NEED HELP.. Vlookup hates me..

    Hello and Welcome to the Forum,

    Please take a few minutes to read the forum rules and explain what you are trying to accomplish. From a quick look, vlookup is not what you are after but rather Index and Match, but before going any further please explain a bit more.
    Please consider:

    Re: Vlookup

    I'm trying to find my rank based on my numbers.. so the info on the right is my actual production (number of premium or policies) and i need to know how that ranks in the top 800 people..
    So the vlookup should return the rank in the huge table below (or if we could use the small table up top that would work great too!!)

    Re: NEED HELP.. Vlookup hates me..

    SO if i write $4000 in life... then i would be ranked 78 of 800.. does that make sense? I need to konw the rank for each group..
    $4438 in life = rank of 50
    $50 in health = rank of 800
    45.5 in auto = rank of 360
    $100 in bank = rank of 559
    .5 in mutualf = rank of 800

    How can i make those ranks pull automatically?

    Re: Vlookup

    believe it or not i dont have e-mail access right now, but if you enter the formula i provided into cell I2 of your sample sheet you should get the result.

    then you can copy down to your other rows, but you will need to adjust the range $B$14:$B$814 to the next range as well ($C$14:$C$814) and so on.

    also you should not post your e-mail on public forums, as they are easily searched / scaned by spamers.

    Monica may I advise you to remove your email quickly before you get a boatload of spam emails. If you want to give someone your email I would advise you to PM them.
