Default vLookup returns formula and not result

Not sure what you mean, but maybe this:

=VLOOKUP(C2,Sheet1!$A$2:$D$326,1,FALSE)

You can easily change to absolute references by pressing F4 when you are
entering or editing the cell references.

Excellent. Work perfect. One more Niek, to keep the formula static
besides
the
lookup value:

=VLOOKUP(C2,Sheet1!A2:D326,1,FALSE)

The cell was formatted as Text when you entered the function.
Just re-formatting is not enough; format as number or General AND
re-enter
the formula (F2, ENTER)

The formula returns a result in the wizard but will not display it on
the
worksheet? No luck with the Show Formula button.
