VLOOKUP not finding adjacent columns
Jay
It would help to see your VLOOKUP statement. If you have something like: =VLOOKUP(B1,C:C,1,FALSE) that would be OK If you have: =VLOOKUP(B1,C:C,2,FALSE) that would fail with #REF! You would have to change it to: =VLOOKUP(B1,C:D,2,FALSE) Have a look at the Help for VLOOKUP Regards Trevor "jay" wrote in message ... I am using VLOOKUP - if i set the col_index_num to 1, it shows me the value it has found, but when i try to increase the number to pull an adjacent column, I get a #REF! The data in the adjacent columns is text any ideas? I searched but couldn't find anything. thanks jay |

VLOOKUP not finding adjacent columns
What's your formula look like?
Does your table_array consist of more than a single column? If the column_index_number exceeds the total number of columns in the table_array you'll get a #REF! error. Biff "jay" wrote in message ...
