Default Vlookup problem is killin me.

i have a data base on sheet 1, formula is on sheet 2. its sorted ascending
everything looks right, but it returns the value from the correct column but

Are you using all 4 arguments of the function?

Is the 4th argument 0 or "False", denoting that an exact match is called
for?

If "yes" to the above, post the formula you're using.

=VLOOKUP(G2,Sheet1!A1:F19677,5,TRUE)
=VLOOKUP(G2,Sheet1!A1:F19677,5)

i've tried both and they both return value of the cell above the correct one.

If you're looking for an exact match

=VLOOKUP(G2,Sheet1!A1:F19677,5,0)

no sorting required

It sounds like you have a data problem.
Are your values imported, returns from other formulas, or keyed in?

BTW ... What happens with this formula:

=Index(Sheet1!E1:E19677,Match(G2,Sheet1!A1:A19677, 0))
?
