VLook up Error
Hi there,
I am trying to do a Vlookup on some activity dates. My formula is =VLOOKUP(O14,Sheet2!$A$2:$L$12804,9) where the value is an activity ID and the index column is the finish date which is in date format. However the date that I get from the VLOOKUP is not the same date as in the table. Some dates are correct while some are not. I have checked many times but still don't know what is the problem. Appreciate if anyone can help me. Regards, Mary |

VLook up Error
There is a optional fourth parameter that can be used with VLOOKUP -
if omitted (as in your case) or set to TRUE or 1 then the function needs to have the data table sorted. However, if it is set to FALSE or 0 then the data does not need to be sorted and the function will return an exact match. So, try this: =VLOOKUP(O14,Sheet2!$A$2:$L$12804,9,0) Hope this helps.
