Vlookup
You get #N/A when using VLOOKUP is the sought value is not present in
the table - perhaps you might need to add some more codes, or check that you don't have spaces etc at the end of them. Hope this helps.

Is there anything that I might be doing wrong that affects the way Vlookup
picks up the numbers? Ie number or text format "Joe" wrote: thanks, that is not the problem. is like the formula doesnt read the number right.

Vlookup
By using LEFT in your formula, you are returning a string, but perhaps
the codes in your lookup table are numbers. Try this: =VLOOKUP(VALUE(LEFT(B78,5)),ADMIN!$A$1:$B$32,2,FAL SE) Hope this helps.

Thanks for feeding back - glad it worked for you.
When you said this in your first post: "... for some reason it doesnt work for me today ..." I assumed that it had worked for you before today, but obviously not.
