Error in vlookup result
I got a #N/A error when using the vlookup function even though I changed the
'Table_Array' column format into 'Number'. I had to double click on each cell in the 'Table_Array' column before it worked. Is there a way to correct this? Thanks |

Error in vlookup result
Sounds like the values in your lookup table were text instead of
numbers. Rather than change them, you could make the lookup value into a text value with something like: =VLOOKUP(A2&"",table,column etc) To get rid of the #N/A error you would use a construct like: =IF(ISNA(your_formula),"",your_formula) to return a blank instead. Hope this helps.

Hi,
Select the column for which you had to double click on cell,go to data menu - text to column - delimited - next - uncheck all check box - next - finish "Pete_UK" wrote: Sounds like the values in your lookup table were text instead of numbers.
