Do you mean VLOOKUP? There is no such limit.
What do you see that makes you think so?

Hi Niek,

I am hitting the same barrier as Rusty with same version of Excel. If you

Bluewolf,
Downgrade to XL2000 ? This version works fine on 40000+, so I can't
duplicate your problem.
Otherwise I suppose you could write your own lookup replacement UDF with
..Find and .Offset.

Thanks Niek, I found that the 16,384 is automatically set as a limit when
selecting a higher number of rows. At the time I posted the question, I
mistakenly imagined it to be a limit. But, upon going into the formula and
changing the row number to whatever I wanted, the formula was accepsted and
the function worked fine.
