VLOOKUP returns #REF!
 

I am trying to do a vlookup where my initial list is in the middle of a
spread sheet. I took that list an opened another sheet and made the list the
first column of that spread sheet, but I can't get it to work.

sounds like the reference to the range is incorrect - can you post the actual
VLOOKUP formula you are using?

You can only lookup one item at a time
VLOOKUP(this_value, in _this_table< return_this_column_itme, true/false for
exact)
'
And the second file in your lookup must be opne

And there are not 17 columns in the range $Q$5:$U$26; there are only 5
