VLOOKUP function with embedded LEFT
In this case, it converts the text returned by the LEFT() function into a number
(instead of text that looks like a number). That way it matches the data type
of your table and allows the VLOOKUP() to work properly.

Glenn, this worked as well. I have never seen -- used before. What command
is that giving?

I have duplicated your error; the values in your lookup table in sheet2,
a1.... are numbers; replace your formual as follows:
=VLOOKUP(VALUE(LEFT(F2,3)),Sheet2!A1:B335,2,FALSE)
or this:
=VLOOKUP(--LEFT(F2,3),Sheet2!A1:B335,2,FALSE)
