Worked perfectly! Pretty clever - thanks again!

Getting closer, but the FIND pulls in an earlier lookup decode that simply
contains the searched for item. For example, if one of my lookup values

is
"F", your solution returns the column B for "CFD" - I assume since it

finds
the "F" in "CFD" before it gets to the "F" entry (the lookup decode list

is
in alphabetical order). hmm...tricky.

Any more suggestions?

Thanks!

One way (albeit replacing vlookup with another formula)

Assume the vlookup would look like this

=VLOOKUP(A1,C2:D50,2,0)

to lookup a case sensitive string from A1 in column C and return the

values
from D would be

=INDEX(D2:D50,MATCH(1,--ISNUMBER(FIND(A1,C2:C50)),0))

entered with ctrl + shift & enter

I'm using vlookup for translating a code into a decode value. The

codes
are
in both lowercase and uppercase, unfortunately with the same values

(e.g.,
cnv and CNV represent 2 different things). Anyone know how to make
vlookup
case sensitive? Or is there another fancy excel function that can

provide
the equivalent functionality?

Thanks!
