#N/A is what I am getting. I am not sure why.
Make sure the lookup number, 1, 2, 3 etc in column A is really a number.
Check for leading or trailing spaces. If the numbers are to the left in the
cell in column A, they are text and the number in D1 is a real number which
will return #N/A.

Here is the problem that I am having. I have 50 employees and I have
three columns with 'employee #', 'Last Name', and 'First Name'.
A B C
Emp# Last First
1 Smith John
2 Doe Jane
. . .
. . .
. . .
I want to set up a formula so that when I input the number "1" on cell
D1, "Smith" will populate E1, and "John" will populate F1. And if I
were to input "2" in cell D1, "Doe" will populate E1, and "Jane" will
populate F1. Thank you very much.
