Default HELP! Lookup

Gilbert was right! I had to force both worksheets into a Value format using:
=VALUE(A2)
on the referenced worksheet. Copied this all the way down

and then using
=VLOOKUP(VALUE(A2),SAP!B$2:C$2319,2,FALSE)
on the one I needed the values

Which I think will also help me solve an earlier issue I had getting the
ss#'s in the first place. Thanks!

Excel isnt just a program its a metaphor for life. Sometimes it''s easy and
boring.. sometimes it''s a little challenging and great.. then there are days
it will drive you absolutely INSANE.

Make sure the format is the same on both worksheets and also the worksheet
that you are getting the information from must be sorted ascending. I hope
it helps.

Simply, i have a worksheet that has one row of ss#'s and next column datat
that refers to that ss#.
In a larger worksheet, I have the column ss#, and i need the data from the
first worksheet to be in this one.... for some reason.. i cant get vlookup to
work.. Its over 8K rows.
