If your table is 5 columns then the column_index_num argument can be
greater than 5.

Should be:

If your table is 5 columns then the column_index_num argument can *not* be
greater than 5.

Post the formula so we can take a look. The #REF! error tells me you're
trying to reference outside the table_array. If your table is 5 columns
then the column_index_num argument can be greater than 5.

I'm usingVLookupon a array of fivecolumn.
It works fine except if I lookup on the lastcolumnof the array.
It returns a "#REF!" error.

Is there a known problem withVLookupand the lastcolumnof arrays?

Hi and thanks to all

my formula is
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(RC[-7],old,5,FALSE)),
0,VLOOKUP(RC[-7],old,5,FALSE))"

"old" goes from B2 to F5001

however, this monring, I did manage to solve the problem by extending
"old" to G5001
but there's absolutly nothing in column G of the range, not even a
column header.

so i'm still confuse to why I have to extend the range to encompass a
column where there's nothing.

thanks
