Default VLOOKUP Shows formula not results.

Not without seeing the data, sorry

You were right. The formula is now returning data, but it is data from
the
row directly above the data it should be pulling. Any ideas on that?

Format the cell as General - it sound like it is formatted text
Then double kick the cell to recommit the formula

Greetings,

I am having trouble with the VLOOKUP Function.

In Excel 2003 I have a workbook with two sheets, Report and Roster.

I want to lookup data in Roster and have it return data in Report.

=VLOOKUP(A5,Roster!A1:C1500,2,FALSE)

All I get back is the formula itself, as if I have typed it in as text.
Any
ideas?
