I can't tell what your data contains from just looking at it in your post.
If you don't wish to send me a copy, there's really nothing more I can
suggest to you, besides perhaps the outside chance that "Text To Columns"
might accomplish something.

The list above shows names with the A A as an extention. This seems to
create my problem. If I try to simply delete these "A A" the names can
not
be properly spaced. This probably results in the hidden spaces you speak
of.
Is there any method to remove the extension and allow for proper spacing.
After all your help it appears to boil down to this.

I have tried to use the suggested formula (=code(mid(a1,5,1,)) and in
case
one received 32 as result. when I then go to search replace I have
entered
spaces to search and spaces to replace( four blank spaces to search
and
two
blank spaces to replace.)This does not work and can't figure how else
to
use
the search replace. Any further help appreciated

I would guess that perhaps the data that's in AX3 doesn't *exactly*
match
what's in Column B.
Do you import any of your data?
Are the names "full" names, first, and/or middle and last names,
where
there
might be a possibilty that the spaces between them might not be a
normal
Char(32) space?
Could there be a possibility of leading and/or trailing spaces?
For a test, key a name into Column B.
Enter that same name in *exactly* the same way into AX3, and see if
you
get
a correct return from your formula.

I tried this formula and get a "not found" also this is how the
formula
gets
entered. Don't know why. It was entered as below.
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(AX3,[GEO.xls]Sheet2!$B$4:$B$18,0)),"not
found",INDEX([GEO.xls]Sheet2!$Q$4:$Q$18,MATCH(AX3,[GEO.xls]Sheet2!$B$4:$B$18
,0)))

Try this in Ay3 of "Miriam":
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(AX3,Geo!$B$4:$B$18,0)),"Not
Found",INDEX(Geo!$K$4:$K$18,MATCH(AX3,Geo!$B$4:$B$ 18,0)))
You can then *double click* on the "fill handle" in the lower
right
corner
of AY3, which will *automatically* copy the formula in AY3 down
Column
AY,
as far as there is data in Column AX.

Thanks for the help. I am confronted with a new scenario which
I'll
present
for help.
One worksheet titled geo I have a list of names b4 thru b18 and
data
in
k4thru k18. I want to transfere the data to worksheet titled
miriam
after
searching for the exact names. The names of the second worksheet
are
column
ax3 thru ax89. Hope this makes sense to you.

First question:
Replace error message with a null ( "" ), which can then be
added:
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(A1,'Sheet2'!$A$1:$A$10,0)),"",VLOOK UP(A1,

I keep saying thanks, your help is outstanding. I would like to
ask
two
additional questions. ie: When I enter my formula into the
cells of
column
A
in a number of cells it returns a value in a few it
returns#N/A.
There
is
no data in those cases but with the #n?A when I try to add the
columns
will
not do so as it cant enter a non digit. I'm using 0 for the
last
number
in
my formula. How best to get around this.
Also I've copied a table from USA internet. In pasting to
worksheet
all
the
cells are obliterated and nothing is recognized by excel. The
data
is
however recognized in (pardon me) lotus. Is there anyway of
having
my
vlookup formula search 123 in place of a sheet in excel.
=vlookup(a1,
sheet2!$A$1:$j$31, 10,0). Hope these questions make sense to
someone

George,
The 4 is the third parameter of the VLOOKUP function, and
tells it
to
retrieve the cell in the 4th column of the range being looked
up
in.
Did
I
say being looked up in? Oh, well. :)

Thanks for the help. I know I'll fully understand the
formula
structure
soon. One question, at end of formula ,4,0 what in fact
does
the 4
make
reference to?

Thanks for the help. One further question.
In the formul In sheet 2 $A$1:$b$10makes reference to two
adjacent
columns.
If there is a column between so there is data in a and c
and
none
in
b
the
result return err,the formula in this cell referes to
cells
that
are
currently emply. How to get around this. ie" if sheet
two
has
data
in
column
a and column d.
thanks

George,
In B1 of sheet 1:
=VLOOKUP(A1, 'Sheet2'!$A$1:$B$10, 2, FALSE)
Copy down with fill handle to B10.
