Hi
probably the values are NOT identical. Try comparing them manually with a
formula such as
=C2='sheet1'!A3
if you thionk that A3 should match your lookup value. Also check for
leading/trainling spaces, etc.

I am using vlookup to match values on truck numbers on sheet 1 with truck
districts on sheet 2 and excel is returning the #N/A error and I can't find
the problem.
For example
On sheet 1 the truck numbers are in column C formatted as text and the truck
numbers consist of text and numbers (i.e. T1767A42)
On sheet 2 the truck numbers are in column A, sorted ascending, formatted as
text, and are the same numbers as on sheet one. (T1767A42)
Using cell d2 on sheet 1 for my vookup statement I inputted
=Vlookup(C2,sheet2!A2:C547,2,False)
If I leave the range looup as True excel returns the last entry in the
lookup coulmn which is incorrect.
If I change the range lookup to false I get the #N/A error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
