Default Vlookup won't work on these two particular spreadsheets

I have done many Vlookups, but these two spreadsheets have come to me from
unidentified sources. I copied onto new workbooks, I cocatinated, and
nothing is working - now even sort is failing ??

any help would be appreciated.

Any number of issues could be the cause.

Extra spaces or non-breaking spaces in text cells.

Hidden characters in text cells.

Numbers are text that look like numbers.

Number formatting could be concealing extra decimals.

What and why did you Concatinate(sic)?
