Your formula has a reference to master. This would need to be defined to the
lookup range desired. Check

editnamesdefinemaster

If you have a workbook named master and/or a worksheet named master you
should name your range something else. After checking all of that with no
resolution to the problem, you may send a workbook to my address below along
with a copy of this message and any/all details.

=VLOOKUP(A25,Master,3,FALSE) - pretty simple. As I described in GREAT
detail,
this has all worked previously (standard formula) but something has gotten
corrupted??

At Step #8 (my original post) certain rows are #N/A. After "breaking" link
to old worksheet, those rows are fine and new rows are #N/A.

Post the formula you're using.

As to attaching files: most people will not open such attachments due to
concerns about viruses. And most people prefer that discussion be kept
within the discussion groups so that other people who have similar issues
may
use the discussion group archives as reference.

The attached Excel 2002 workbook contains 2 sheets:

(I'm new here and could not see how to attach the xls file. How do I
attach
or can I email to a respondent?)

Master - Is our Master Plant List;
Project - For creating project specific Plant List based upon filling
in
Column A & B.

History:
1) Workbook with only Master worksheet received from client;
2) Added Project Worksheet and formulas in columns C-M;
3) Enter data in columns A and B - all is well.

4) Receive new Master from client (unsorted rows).
5) Copy contents of old Project worksheet to new Project worksheet in
new
workbook (Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V);
6) Extract data from application (AutoCAD) consisting of multiple rows
of
"material, quantity" (Column A, Column B) to text file;
7) Open txt file as new file with Excel and create pivot table to
summarize
data;
8) Copy-Clip data from pivot table to Cell A2 in Project worksheet.

In the attached workbook, on the Project worksheet you see rows of red
text.
After step #8 above, columns C-M of these rows were #N/A.

I then did Edit Links Break (the sheet was still linked to the
original
workbook (step #1 - #3).

At this point, the rows that are red, went from #N/A to their correct
values
and the rows that are blue are now #N/A. ZP & ZPE both appear in the
lookup
table.

I've spent a few hours Googling this and have read ALL about "hidden
characters" and "phantom links" but I have been unable to resolve this
problem.

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?
