Evidentially, I used this type of function:
=INDEX(range,MATCH(cell,range),0)

This caused excel to default to 1 (TRUE).


Should have been:
=INDEX(range,MATCH(cell,range,0))


By do I feel dumb...

I created a Pivot table, and did a copy/paste special values to get
rid of
the Pivot Table. Now, I try to do a simple Index/Match, and I
almost always
get the lowest value in the list as a result, no matter what lookup
value I
use for the Match. What could cause this? I know the zip codes
(this is the
array for the index) come out as text (this file was downloaded
from an
external system). That shouldn't matter, right. I'm not concerned
about the
data type, I'm just looking for my Match, but can't find it.
Anyway, even if
I convert the zips to number-type, the results are still wrong.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
