Thanks Carlos I thought this may be the case.

The lookup value must be in the first column of the range.

From help on vlookup:

Syntax

VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,ran ge_lookup)

Lookup_value is the value to be found in the first column of the array.
Lookup_value can be a value, a reference, or a text string.

Hello From Steved

trying to lookup values in column F instead of A?

What I done was to insert a column in A then copied the F Col to check to
see if the formula would work and it does now i've put the information
back
in Column F.

Could you provide more information on your problem? Are you trying to
copy the formula from column A to F or trying to lookup values in
column F instead of A?
