vlookup maximum cell range?
Good day all,
I am trying to perform a vlookup in a (sorted) list of 705 items; =VLOOKUP("D$2$",Business_Data!A$1:C$705,2) However, whenever I add more than 300 in my lookup range, it returns an incorrect value; IE: if I do =VLOOKUP("D$2$",Business_Data!A$1:C$300,2), it returns the proper value... If I do =VLOOKUP("D$2$",Business_Data!A$1:C$301,2), it returns incorect data... is there a maximum range of cell to use? If there is one, what would you suggest I use to lookup in my list of 700+ items? Thanks & Regards |

Hi Fred,
A little hard to say for sure, but I would start with the using FALSE in the 4th argument in your formula. Your range is set to absolute in the formulas you show here, so I assume they are in your sheet. If not, that may be the problem. HTH Regards, Howard "Fred" wrote in message ...

vlookup maximum cell range?
Forgot to mention, there is no real limit for vlookup. I've heard posters
mention having 8 to 15 thousand. Howard "Fred" wrote in message ...

Try an exact* VLOOKUP instead: =VLOOKUP("D$2$",Business_Data!A$1:C$705,2,0) *with 4th param set to zero, or FALSE -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |
