Default Vlookup and #N/A

It sounds as though some of your data is formatted as text. You will need to
do what you are doing, but maybe select them all and just Fr then Enter in a
big sweep.

Hi,

My problem is the following.

I have two spreadsheets. I copied a coloum with numbers and pasted it to

the
other spreadsheet. Now I created a Vlookup formula (=VLOOKUP(E5,'Query
Download'!$A$1:$C$418,3, FALSE) next to the first cell. The result is #N/A

a
few times which is fine coz sometimes there there are no result but the

other
times should be something.

So what I did is I got into the cell which contains the numbers (the

coloum
with numbers) with F2 or double click and then enter. And worked. BUT I

DONT
KNOW WHY and I don't know what has been changed?

Is there any chance that I can change the cells all together and not one

by
one and I will have result where I should have?

Thanks
Linda
