I tried to do a vlookup functin in a workbook ,the source for lookup is in
another workbook(both open).when I type
=vlookup(a6,
and then went for the other workbooks to designate the source range I do not
find the part formla in the formula bar and consequently ignoring this if I
go about the formla the formula does not work.

What could be the reason for such behaviour of the other workbook. Has the
other workbook corrupted?
thanks

Is there a chance that somebody changed the number/list settings from
the control panel? Will it work if you try
=vlookup(a6;

i.e. semicolon instead of comma?

no. in other cases vlookup with comma works. but in one or two particular
files this behaviour occurs. that is why I suspect that the file is
corrupted. Somewhere in this newsgroup I saw solutin to recover corrupted
file. shall look into it. thanks
