You need to have all the dates in ascending order in column 1. Maybe the
values are text,
they need to be numerical for dates to work

=VLOOKUP($D$16,$A$16:$B$18,2,TRUE)

More info is needed. Is your talbe always going to be the first of every
month, and you are just matching month/year? Have you verified that all
dates
are actual dates, and not text?

I have a column of dates that i what to do a lookup on. The column
looks
like the following:

01/01/08 5
02/01/08 6
03/01/08 7


I what to find the value in column two for the date 2/15/08. If i put
False
in the vlookup formula i get 5 as the answer, if i put True i get 7
as the
answer. How do i get the answer from the row with 2/01/08.
