What do you mean by C8 is <=N90486 and =N100001

Those are text strings so cannot be <= or =

Where are the formulas entered?

My Excel 2003 workbook includes the following sort of data:

N90486 HOND 9 ACO4EXL RED 1HGCS22839A010469
N100001 HOND 10 INSEX RED JHMZE2H73AS001296
...

VLOOKUP is using the first column to pull data (=VLOOKUP(C8,inventory,4)).
If the value in C8 is <=N90486, the data transfers fine; if it is =N100001,
it returns #N/A and does not offer the "Formula Error Button" next to the
cells with errors.

Suggestions?
