Is there a way to vlookup and keep format?
 

Hi, I'm looking for a way to do vlookup, and I want to keep the format
in argument 3 (where argument 3 in "=vlookup(A2,MyLookup,2,0)" is "2")

Nope... VLookup is a function and functions can ONLY return values. They can
not modify formats or other settings. This is just as true of built in
functions as it is of user defined functions...

Hmm, in that case, anyone have a VBA code or such that would vlookup an
keep format

Not using a formula - you'd have to use VBA to search for the match and copy/paste the return value
