Default VLookup N/A Error

Wanda

VLOOKUP with the False argument looks for an exact match and if not found
returns the NA error.

Do you believe that it should return a number?

Can you find what looks like a match in the table?

Perhaps there is a space in the cell with the correct number?

We have the following formula that returns a numerical result for some, but
