VLOOKUP Help
 

I'm trying to use VLOOKUP to find the corresponding cells to a
particular dash number.

Example
A1 B1 C1 D1 E1
-3 2 4 X 3
I want to be able to enter -3 in a a cell containing VLOOKUP to get
what is in cell C1. It says I have an error in the formula. I have
various dash numbers that i'm working with. Is it the (-) that's
causing a problem?

Thank You,

With the lookup values in A1. B1, C1 you would need to use HLOOKUP
=HLOOKUP(A5,A1:E2,2,FALSE)
With the values in A1, A2, A3 etc this works,

With the values in A1, B1, C1 etc you would need HLOOKUP to find the values
in A2, B2, C2 etc
=HLOOKUP(A6,A1:E2,2,FALSE)
If that was a typo and you meant the values are in A1, A2, A3 etc then this
works to find the values in B1, B2, B3 etc
=VLOOKUP(A6,A1:B5,2,FALSE)

L5 1.2920 0.4850 0.5050
L6 1.2920 0.5940 0.6140

This is my data base and I want to be able to pull the the
corresponding cell according to the number in column 'A' Traditional
Vlookup isn't working properly for me.

Example: I want to be able to enter -5 in another cell and find the
cell to the right that I'm requesting or L3 to get the same
information. I hope this makes sense.
