Now I want to lookup in my query. Why does it return #N/A? If I copy and insert values it does work. But then I do not get the automation.... Hope somebody can help solve this. Regards Heine |

Regards Heine- Skjul tekst i anførselstegn - - Vis tekst i anførselstegn - Hi Mike =VLOOKUP(B2;3;Sheet1!$J$3:$L$135;FALSE) It is a straightforward lookup. But the lookup area is a web query. Moreover I have added a column to the lookup area where I have calculations (the above right formula). It returns #N/A. I have also tried to use a named area - still returns #N/A. any thoughts? Best regards Heine |

Best regards Heine The arguments are in the wrong order: =VLOOKUP(B2;Sheet1!$J$3:$L$135;3;FALSE) Also, what values do you now have in J3:J135? Your original phones or the result of applyiung Mike's formula? HTH Kostis Vezerides |

If you want to match up using numbers--not text that looks like numbers, try
this: =--RIGHT(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(32),"")),4) or =--RIGHT(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")),4) the -- stuff changes text numbers to number numbers. And to excel: '1234 (treated as text) isn't the same as 1234 (a real number).
