limitation to Match formula?
I am using a vlookup formula with a Match formula as below:
=vlookup(lookup_value,array,match(lookup_value,arr ay,0),0) This formula works well when the Match portion = 1 to 26. However, when it goes above 26, like 27 or 30, I get a #REF! error. I drag my formula across the required cells so there shouldn't be any typo errors. Anyway, I have checked and checked and can't find what's wrong. Is there a limitation to the Match function and is there a workaround? |

limitation to Match formula?
Hi Melissa
1 to 26 sounds suspiciously like the Match is A to Z. Is that your problem? Without seeing your exact formula and the sort of data in the ranges, one can't say, but there is no inherent reason why Match should stop at 26 -- Regards Roger Govier "Melissa" wrote in message ...
