Lookup only works correctly if your lookup range, in this case Report!$F$2:$F$51, is sorted in ascending order. This formula will also give you the "closest match" (next lowest) if an exact match isn't found. If you only require exact matches, you can have an unsorted lookup range but you should use VLOOKUP, i.e. =VLOOKUP("A2",Report!$F$2:$H$51,3,0) -- daddylonglegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ daddylonglegs's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30486 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=566441 |

Are you looking up the *value* "A2",
Or are you looking up the contents of the cell A2? Is the data in F2 to F51 sorted in ascending order? -- Regards, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "LoveCandle" wrote in message ...

Thank you everybody for your help, I think the solution for my problem is sorting the lookup range in ascending order. But, by this way I will have to change my table arrangement which I don't want to.. so I prefered to use another worksheet function/s like: Code: -------------------- =IF(ISNA(MATCH(A4,Feuil1!$E$9:Feuil1!$E$67,0)),"", OFFSET(Feuil1!$C$8,MATCH(A4,Feuil1!$E$9:Feuil1!$E$ 67,0),0)) -------------------- That formula worked perfectly with my case, Thank you again, -- LoveCandle ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LoveCandle's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28612 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=566441 |
