    [SOLVED] vlookup not working

    I'm dumbfounded (or just dumb)...i thought i knew how to use vlookup...but i cant get this to work. I copied the data in the attached sample from my actual workbook (change the names)

    I'm trying to vlookup the client column and return the client id column. What am i doing wrong here? I've tried adjust the formula every different way i could. Change the cell formatting and I just cant figure this out.

    Try this:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    The reason that it wasn't working before is that it was looking for the client names in column B of sheet 2.
    Consider taking the time to add to the reputation of everybody that has taken the time to respond to your query.

    Not a problem, working late (getting toward 10 PM EDT?) can cause one's eyes/brain to play tricks. At any rate you're welcome and thank you for the feedback. Please take a moment, when you get one, to mark the thread 'Solved' using the thread tools link above your first post. I hope that you have a blessed day/night.
