vlookup with all the same values in one column
I found one reason the vlookups weren't working for me. I did the formula
correct in cell 2. Then I copied that formula and paste---paste special--- formula in cell 2. Then I doubleclicked cell 2 the box on the bottom right. That does copy the formula to all the cells in the column I'm tryint to lookup. I noticed a weird thing. All the values in the column are the same as cell 1. Then when I click on each cell individually it updates it to the right match in the vlookup. This took me a long time to figure out becuase I thought Excel automatically updated cells. Am I not doing the copy/paste special/formula right. I want to put the vlookup formula in all the cells in the column. thanks for your help. |
