Default can vlookup be forced to make a case sensitive match?

i have data that is case sensitive, and a vlookup function needs to
differentiate between for examle two values like 'tree' and Tree'.

is it possible to force the vlookup function to match case? thanks

Default

Try...

=VLOOKUP("Tree",IF(EXACT(A1:A10,"Tree"),A1:B10),2, 0)

or

=INDEX(B1:B10,MATCH(TRUE,EXACT(A1:A10,"Tree"),0))

Both formulas need to be confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just
ENTER.

Hope this helps!
