Truncated text using vlookup to linked worksheet
Using this formula
=VLOOKUP($B72,'I:\Contracts\Working\Reporting\Week ly Reporting\Marketing Minutes\2006 Reports\Contracts\Master File\[Contracts Wkly Rept Master.xls]Full Report'!$B:$G,5,FALSE) The resultant text is truncated. If I open the source master file and update the link, the text in the target document is then shown in full. Unfortunately it disappears again if I close the source and update the link. I've turned off automatic update, so that I can vaguely control this, but it is not ideal. btw I've also tried including Alt+Enter in the source cells to see if that helps display in target cell - it doesn't. I also changed formatting from Text to General, because when Text, I was getting ####... as the value when I opened the source workbook. -- Patricia D |
