Cell reference in vlookup not working
Hi,
I am trying to use vlookup in Excel2003 to do some data manupulation between data sets in two different sheets. My function looks like this: =VLOOKUP(A62,Sheet2!A60:T11007,10,FALSE) Cell A62 contains a number, for example: 3020200000 This function always returns #N/A. If I enter the actual value instead of A62 then it works correctly. I re-created the example in Excel's vlookup help, replaced the constant value with a cell reference like I am using above and it was resolved correctly. What could be causing my application of vlookup not to work correctly? Thanks for your help, -Eric |

Cell reference in vlookup not working
Either A62 is a number, and the entry in A60:A11007 is text, or vice versa

Use the "Data/Text to Columns" to resolve quickly and save looking for
individual records with bad formatting; Highlight the column to be converted/fixed (Column A based on your lookup formula) From the Task Bar; select Data €“ Text to Columns Within display; select "Finish" on lower right corner.......... Now, check out the results...#N/A should have disappeared.......problem fixed.
