VLOOKUP
We have an error (several, in fact) in a VLOOKUP table that we've used
successfully for a while. The formula calls for a lookup of an SKU in a worksheet within the same file. It works in most instances and then, in some, it won't recognize a value in the lookup field. I've checked the formulas, re-typed them, checked the field being looked-up, and I can't figure it out. The source worksheet is a download from another database but I checked the format of the cells that don't respond to lookup and there doesn't seem to be a difference. The formula is: =VLOOKUP('Satori - Harmony - Sweaters'!K165,inventory,9,FALSE), where "K165" is the cell adjacent to the left. Any thoughts on a solution or even how I might better articulate the question? Thanks in advance |

You need to match up the actual data type of the data in the cells - do your downloaded lookup values contain only numbers? Cliff Edwards |
VLOOKUP: Thanks, found the problem
Ward, thanks.
Found the problem. What actually happened was that the person who built the table created a range in the source table. New inventory additions simply pushed beyond the named range. Once I extended the range, all was well. thanks again. "kofigan" wrote: We have an error (several, in fact) in a VLOOKUP table that we've used successfully for a while.

Thanks Ward. Problem wound up being that new entries pushed beyond a named
range in the source table that I hadn't seen earlier. once I extended the range, all was well. thanks again.
