Hi,

I have added the values(text) of 2 columns together by either eg.

=a1&""&a2
or =concatenate(a1,a2). I want to use the result of this as the

lookup_value
in a vlookup formula but get a #N/A error. Is it possible to use vlookup

in
such an instance? If so what can I do to make the formula work?


Thanks
