Odd VLookup behavior
Hi,
I have a vlookup table that has a number from 1 to 800. Then it has a label like SS or GL depending what number it is. Then a 3rd column is another number like a district number. 1 SS 24 2 GL 32 AND SO ON..... When I do the vLookup with this I get the same answer for every cell. What is even odder is that when I pick one of those cells and double click on it the formula comes up but when I press enter the VLOOKUP now works correctly. Anyone have an idea of what is up? Thanks. |

Turn on Automatic Calculations:
TOOLS OPTIONS CALCULATION Tab Check "Automatic" OK HTH, Elkar "KenRamoska" wrote: Hi, I have a vlookup table that has a number from 1 to 800.

Odd VLookup behavior
I had that on already.
I went online and installed some security updates and that fixed it. Why it did I don't know. This was the oddest problem I have seen in a while. Thanks though for helping me so quick. I apologize for not posting that I had automatic calculation on already. F9 worked for me which I though was odd also since I should not have to do that.
