vlookup, what am I doing wrong?
=VLOOKUP(A310,[sls.xls]Detail!$A$271:$A$296,17)
Workbook "CD" has the name COVER in A310 and a blank cell next to it in column B (where I have placed the formula) Another workbook (sls) column A has the name COVER, but provides the amount for the cover between the rows of 271 to 296 in column 17. what am I missing in order to get results? Thanks for any help you may provide |

Your table needs to include the result you are looking for, so it needs to span at least 17 columns.
Try: =VLOOKUP(A310,[sls.xls]Detail!$A$271:$Q$296,17,False) HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "ufo_pilot" wrote in message ... =VLOOKUP(A310,[sls.xls]Detail!$A$271:$A$296,17) Workbook "CD" has the name COVER in A310 and a blank cell next to it in column B (where I have placed the formula) Another workbook (sls) column A has the name COVER, but provides the amount for the cover between the rows of 271 to 296 in column 17. what am I missing in order to get results?

Gordon,
sorry I forgot to mention that I started out with the "FALSE" as you have it. Thank you. Bernie, I copied your suggestion, pasted it in the cell and It did exaxtly what I needed. Thank you all for your super fast response and solutions. "Bernie Deitrick" wrote: Your table needs to include the result you are looking for, so it needs to span at least 17 columns.
