    Because you have lot of spaces after word in C64 field.

    So in I field instead of =C64 write =SUBSTITUTE(C64;" ";"")
    And in H =VLOOKUP($I63;'AP CIIIT'!$A$2:$E$383;2;FALSE)

    note that in VLOOKUP can't be number 8. Must be 2 or 4, depending what you need.

    now it's working. JKL works too for cells that match.

    =trim(c64) would be better as its shorter!

    yes.. But also no need for two columns C and J... can be added in same vlookup formula. (of course, some other reason may require both columns)
