HLOOKUP Can't Search by Lookup Value
I'm coming across a problem searching using a formula as my LOOKUP
Value. e.g. If my formula is: =HLOOKUP(A1, B1:C10, 2, FALSE) In one test where A1 = the date 2008/01/01 // HLOOKUP searches fine. However, when A1 = a formula (i.e. =E1 or =today()) // HLOOKUP reports #N/A. --- Is there a solution so I can contain a formula is cell A1 and HLOOKUP will report? |

If the range in which u r searching has the date as String and not as Date then you will #N/A. If you enter the dates as dates, this will be resolved |

HLOOKUP Can't Search by Lookup Value
If the range in which u r searching has the date as String and not as
Date then you will #N/A. If you enter the dates as dates, this will be resolved Is there a way to change the cell be a date and not a date-String. My cell contains a reference (=E1) to another worksheet. |
