i pull a csv file from a website with 3 columns of data approx. 450 rows
long. i.e.

Col. 1 Col.2 Col. 3
ABC ABC Co. 1.02
BCD BCD Inc. 0.89
CDE CDE Assoc. 1.45

i copy and paste this data into an existing file on Sheet 2.

The last column (F) on Sheet 1 has text that corresponds with column 1
above. I am trying to use VLOOKUP in Sheet 1 column (G) to bring the Col. 3
data to (G).
When i use the VLOOKUP it brings back the wrong data. It returns the data
from the correct column, but the wrong row. It returns the row ABOVE the
correct response.

=VLOOKUP(CDE,Sheet2!A1:E57,3) returns 0.89 (instead of 1.45)
=VLOOKUP(CDE,Sheet2!A1:E57,3,True) returns 0.89
=VLOOKUP(CDE,Sheet2!A1:E57,3,False) returns #N/A

the only way i have been able to make this work is to retype the data in
Col.1. but i need to be able to do this on demand and since this data changes
and there are 450+ rows, retyping is not practical.

Help PLEASE.
thanks
