Lookup exact number
I need to look up an exact number i.e. sn4-10 but it brings up sn4-100 or
sn4-101 etc. how do i do this? |
Lookup exact number
If you're using the VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP functions....they have a 4th argument (parameter).
Setting it to FALSE or 0 (zero) will cause them to only find exact (but not case sensitive) matches. Example: =VLOOKUP(A1,C1:D10,2,FALSE) See Excel Help for more info. Does that help?

What formula are you using? If you are using VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP, you need to
include the 4th parameter with a value of FALSE. =VLOOKUP(value,range,offset,FALSE) -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel, 10 Years Pearson Software Consulting www.cpearson.com (email on the web site) "stetka" wrote in message ...
