vlookup problems
 

I have a spreadsheet that I programmatically manipulate one section of my
code inputs multiple vlookups. The code is not the problem nor is the
syntax, and i have recalculated the sheet several times. The result values
will not display. I can manually type in another formula then retype the
vlookup and it will work for that cell. I guess my question is -- is my
sheet corrupted and need to be replaced or is there another method of
refreshing the formulas?


Help if u can

Thanks,

vlookup problems
 

I would take a look at the underlying cell formats/values. It sounds like
either some are formatted as text or the values are not quite what you
think. May have hidden characters or spaces.

There are several methods for rectifying. If it is values that are 'seen' as
text you can copy a blank cell, paste special...+Add, if there are hidden
characters or spaces, you could use the TRIM or CLEAN functions

Nick - Not sure what was going on. I rebooted my machine and changed the
vlookup code from explicit addresses to R1C1 format and everything is now
reacting correctly. my guess is the reboot dumped some glitchy cache and
corrected the problem.

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I frequently ask and answer posts on
this site and truely appreciate your response.
