Text formated cells with numbers
Hi Bernie,
Found a solution
=VLOOKUP(TEXT(A4,"#"),Couples!$B$2:$D$350,2,FALSE)

Hi Bernie,
=VLOOKUP(VALUE(A4),Couples!$B$2:$D$350,2,FALSE)
A4 is what I input (ie 47) & the exported data is in worksheet Couples.
Hence I get N/A
Thanks for responding

Hugh,
Change the first argument of your VLOOKUP to convert the string to a number:
=VLOOKUP (VALUE( ), ........)

Hi All,
I'm trying to do a vlookup from one worksheet to another. The one sheet is
an export from an Access database & the lookup column is numbers but the
Access field is text. That was done for a possible eventuality in the
database.
My problem is that unless I add the label ' into the cell the lookup doesn't
work. How do I get around that?
Cheers
Hugh
