Default VLOOKUP AND N/A ERRORS

I am trying to enter a formula into cell that included the VLOOKUP function
and I keep getting an N/A error as my result. Why would it do this, and what
can I do to ensure I don't keep getting it?

I am in worksheet and I am basically trying to reference another worksheet
for some of the values. I enter C3 as my lookup value (in existing sheet); I
enter a range reference (from another worksheet) as my table array; I enter
the number 2 because that is column (from the another worksheet) that I want
to use; finally, I enter FALSE because I want to return an exact match). I
also have to multiply the lookup value by C4 (in existing sheet).

Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It would be easier if you copied the formula that gave the N/A error.

Make sure that the range that you refer to includes also the second
column. If not, that would be one source of the N/A error.

Hope this helps / Lars-Åke
