To reconise text or number
Hello from Steved 4284 640 "Both worksheets have the same information in both columns Ok whats my issue I import A "Oracle file" into my spreadsheet the below formula is not working, now if I copy "4284 and "640" into the imported worksheet it works. I know "+0" sees text and treats it as a number, my question is their something similar please. =INDEX(Timetables!$F$2:$F$5000,MATCH(1,(Timetables !$E$2:$E$5000=B71)*(Timetables!$D$2:$D$5000=C71),0 )) Thankyou. |

You might need to "scrub" the imported data. After the import you can run this macro to clean things up a bit, and then formulas should be more responsive. Activate the imported-data sheet first... Sub CleanData() Dim cell As Range For Each cell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Cells cell.Value = cell.Value ' Or optionally trim fixed-length strings ' cell.Value = Trim(cell.Value) Next End Sub -- Regards, Tim Zych http://www.higherdata.com Workbook Compare - Excel data comparison utility "Steved" wrote in message ...
