Default Problem with Vlookup

Hi,
If you retype the names and works there is something different, try in both
columns

=trim(a1)
and copy all the way down

The data is arranged in 2 excel spreadsheets in columns. The names are
written the same way and both formatted as text. I hve tried formatting both
columns same way. same problem. If I retype both names in the two
spreadsheets the correct info is returned.

Hi,
Check that the names are identical sometimes one of them has an space or
other simbol,

2) Highlight both columns and do text to columns
