First, what is the VLOOKUP formula you used?
And perhaps it is returning a different (incorrect) column ..parameter wrong? "Wannano" wrote: The results of a Vlookup function was a number versus the text in the cell. Does anyone know why? -- Texas Wannano |

Now what was in A2, what was in $C$2:$C$35 (or the part that you expected the result from), what did you expect as result and what
