Didn't work either

Formatting as numbers afterwards is not enough.
To make the text numbers:
- format as number
- copy an empty cell
- select your "numbers"
- EditPaste Special, check Add
Now they should be numbers

Trying a vlookup formula one set of paroduct numbers has a little green
triganle in the upper left corner of the cell. The formula returns our
friend #N/A. I have tried formatting the entires (one is sent as text,
the
other as general) as text (both) General (both) and as numbers. There ae
no
trailing zeros or other odd spaces characters or what not. If I copy one
number to the other spreadsheet , it works but when you have several
hundereds of rows, that's not practical.
Any thought on what is problem/fix is here??
Thanx
