Excel VLookup crash when typing "false"
While typing a vlookup function such as "=vlookup(A2,'Sheet2'!A:A,false)",
immediately after typing the "f" in "false", Excel will crash with the following error: Identify Label There is more than one cell with this label:f Select the cell containing the label to use: [OK] [Cancel] No matter what is entered following, the following error will occur: Microsoft Office Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. This problem has been around for almost 5 years now. Is there a hotfix for it yet? Or should I give MS another 5 years to work on it? |

Excel VLookup crash when typing "false"
I cannot seem to replicate this issue and have never heard of it, but here's
what I would try: if you're using Excel 2003 or earlier, go to Tools, Options, Calculation, and turn off "Accept labels in formulas" Does that help? If it doesn't, type a 0 (zero) instead of FALSE.

Excel VLookup crash when typing "false"
I checked this "Accept labels in formulas" and it is already unchecked. So, I
tried putting a check mark in it, but it still crashes. I will try getting used to the "0" value, but I've been using the "false" for so many years that it comes as a habit and sometimes dont realize it until it's already crashed...
