VLOOKUP Problems
 

I am trying to create a VLOOKUP - I want the Table Array to search C:C (all
of column c) - I keep getting an error. Am I doing this incorrectly?

VLOOKUP Problems
 

syntax should be
=VLOOKUP(A1,C:C,1,0)

where A1 is the value you are looking for

=VLOOKUP(99,C:D,2) works from the top of column C to the bottom. Here we
look for 99 in column C and return the adjacent value from column D

I tried both and I get N/A as a result even though I see the match
=VLOOKUP(B2,'Lookup 2'!B:B,1,False)
=VLOOKUP(B2,'Lookup 2'!B:B,1,0)

That's the problem, you think you see the match. You might have
leading/trailing spaces or invisible html characters in either the lookup
value or in the table or you might use numbers that are text etc. Test one
of those that you are sure are matches just simply by using

=B2=cell_you_think_is_a_match


TRUE or FALSE?


then use

=LEN(B2)

=LEN(cell_you_think_is_a_match)

same number,

then it's time to check the format


=ISNUMBER(B2)

and so on
