vlookup -- Upper case and Lower case text
How can you differentiate between upper case and lower case text in a vlookup
function? For me, vlookup returns the first value when I have te last variable set to "FALSE". I have one row as "I 18" and the next row as "i 4". When I use vlookup for I, the result is 18. When I use vlooup for i, the result is 18. If I put "i 4" above "I 18", both results are 4. If I set the last variable to TRUE, the result is always the value of the lower case "4" regardless of the row order. |

vlookup -- Upper case and Lower case text
One alternative for a case sensitive lookup ..
Assuming returns required from B1:B10, lookup col values in A1:A10 In D1 down are the lookup values, eg: i, I Placed in say, E1, array-entered*: =INDEX(B$1:B$10,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(FIND(D1,A$1:A$ 10)),0)) Copy E1 down *press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to confirm the formula -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "teec_detroit" wrote: How can you differentiate between upper case and lower case text in a vlookup function?
