Vlookup
Hi Group,
Preliminary to writting some code I am doing the set up and preliminary work. I am using Office 2003. I am getting some strange results with the VLookUp and I have not yet even started writing th code yet. The table is fairly simple, Dates in Col A, incremented weekly. The seventh Col to the right, including Col A is a number. Col A is in asending order, the dates. I am using the formula =VLOOKUP(A2-7,A2:G52,7), so it appears the formula should return the previus weeks data, but it is going to the bottom of the range and returing that value. Col A ... Col G 11/28/05 27.6 11/21/05 26.71 - this is what I think it shoud return .......... 11/29/04 34.48 - bottom of searched ranged, this is what si returned I am confused, the dates are in asending order. Is anyone esle having this problem in 2003? -- David |

Figured it out, dates are in the wrong order for the VLookUp to work.

Vlookup
also, to be safe
change =VLOOKUP(A2-7,A2:G52,7) to =VLOOKUP(A2-7,A2:G52,7,FALSE), "David" wrote: Figured it out, dates are in the wrong order for the VLookUp to work. -- David "David" wrote: Hi Group, Preliminary to writting some code I am doing the set up and preliminary work.
