I have a vlookup function on the one (1) sheet that look up at the cell's
values with a product code such as SBP, SBT, SN8, SN7, ... at the other sheet
(2):
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A57,MasterData,10,0)),"",VLOOK UP(A57,MasterData,10,0))

This product code column is a first column in a MasterData range on the
sheet 1 and it's a first column on the sheet 2. For many cells everything is
fine the function is taking the value. But, for some ones there is no value -
it's empty. Only, after
I retype manually the same product code in a cell on the sheet 2 where the
function cannot get a data the value is appearing.

How possibly I could fix it?

Thanks

As a best guess you downloaded this data from some sort of a data base?
Sometimes when you do that some or all of the data will be padded with blank
spaces at the end. "This" and "This " are 2 different things. Try using a
helper column with the trim function in it to remove the padded blanks at the
end (if this is the case)...

Sounds like some of the product codes on the lookup sheet have leading or
trailing spaces.

Thank you very much, Jim.
You're right it'a a database data. I've used Trim and everything is working
perfectly now.
