Default vlookup size limitations search range?

Make sure that the table you are looking in covers the range of data,
eg A$1:F$1300 - perhaps you have it covering only up to 1200?

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I'm experiencing problems with vlookup and I'm afraid it's linked to the
size of the range in which I look.

This is a table of 5 columns and approx 1300 rows. *And records that are in
row 1200 (approx) and below return a #N/A when search for by vlookup. *(I
tested this with changing the sorting from ascending to descending and then
looking again for the record I needed.)

I must say that the file in which the vlookup is called has 6 columns of
each approx 120 rows with vlookup functions.

I cannot imagine that this is already at/over the limits of excel? *The
version I'm using is 2003 SP2

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,

Hans
