Default vlookup speed question

Ah yes, I had forgotten about that approach - thanks for reminding me,
Charles.

Will I see you at the User Group meeting in April?

Thats not entirely correct Pete, its not too hard to do exact match using
the Sorted option of Vlookup or Match when the data is sorted.

see Sorted Data with Missing values athttp://decisionmodels.com/optspeede..htmfor an explanation of how to do
this.

Further to Biff's reply, sometimes the lookup table is sorted, but you
still need an exact match. In this case you still have to use FALSE or
0 as the 4th parameter.

Hope this helps.
