vlookup problem
Excel 2002 SP3
Win XP HE SP1 *Follow-up group is: microsoft.public.excel* *only reply to: microsoft.public.excel* hi, i am having a problem with vlookup wherein if i use formula A: =VLOOKUP(A2,NJ!$C$2:$C$48,1, FALSE) it works but formula B doesn't: =VLOOKUP(A2,NJ!$A$2:$E$48,5,FALSE) the only difference is the table array range which in the formula B looks into the same sheet etc., but at more columns. i can't understand what is causing the problem. i believe that the columns do not need to be sorted (help file); the sheets are formatted properly, etc. i've done LOTS of vlookups in really complex spreadsheets in the past but am rusty right now and can't put my finger on what i am doing wrong. anyone can help? |

vlookup problem
You sure
=VLOOKUP(A2,NJ!$A$2:$E$48,5,FALSE) shouldn't be: =VLOOKUP(A2,NJ!$c$2:$E$48,3,FALSE) (so the key looks to match column C). stef wrote: Excel 2002 SP3 Win XP HE SP1 *Follow-up group is: microsoft.public.excel* *only reply to: microsoft.public.excel* hi, i am having a problem with vlookup wherein if i use formula A: =VLOOKUP(A2,NJ!$C$2:$C$48,1, FALSE) it works but formula B doesn't: =VLOOKUP(A2,NJ!$A$2:$E$48,5,FALSE) the only difference is the table array range which in the formula B looks into the same sheet etc., but at more columns. i can't understand what is causing the problem. i believe that the columns do not need to be sorted (help file); the sheets are formatted properly, etc. i've done LOTS of vlookups in really complex spreadsheets in the past but am rusty right now and can't put my finger on what i am doing wrong. anyone can help? -- Dave Peterson |
