When I call Application.VLookup() with the col_index_num
parameter = 1 and
range_lookup=False, the function returns strange numeric
values -- they look
like something close to a row index for the matching value, but
it's
definitely NOT returning the matching string values in Column 1
of the data
table range being searched. After the call IsError(retVal) is
False, so the
function thinks it has found an exact match. The exact same
call with
col_index_num set to some value 1 works fine and returns the
expected data.
Note also that using WorksheetFunction.VLookup() seems to make
no
difference. Is this a known bug? Does anyone know how to fix
it?
