VLookup occasionally returns formula with no data
Okay so I've done many many complicated vlookups in my life time.. But
occasionally when I use one after done with the formula it returns the formula and not the results. Any help on if there is a setting in Excel that I need to turn off?? Here is what I'm getting for results"=VLOOKUP(B2,[customera.xls]Sheet1!$A:$B,2,0)" Please help |

Maybe:-
Tools|Options|View and un-check formulas Or shortcut CTRL + ` (The ` is to the left of the 1 key) Or maybe the cell is text so change to General hit F2 and enter.

You know I swear that I tried that and it didn't work so I just tried something new... Changed to General and saved both files.. Still same problem.. Then shut down excel and reopened it.. .Bang when I re-inserted the Vlookup it worked.. Also I did not change any setting under options as they were all fine..

ah! the infamous reboot cure. I still often spend way too much time trying
other things before trying this and having it work. "Ted Jillett" wrote: Mike H; You know I swear that I tried that and it didn't work so I just tried something new...
