If the lookup value is numeric, try:
=VLOOKUP(A2+0,$J$2:$K$5815,2,FALSE)

If the lookup value is text, try:
=VLOOKUP(TRIM(A2),$J$2:$K$5815,2,FALSE)

I was having issues with Vlookup functionality in a 2 column array. It
does
not recognize the value I have in the array intil I over type the value
and
then the vlookup functionality works.

My equation looks like this: =VLOOKUP(A2,$J$2:$K$5815,2,FALSE)
