MATCH problem
Hi - can anyone tell me why I get #NA when I try to match a cell with contents:
AWDAXJ$(RI#S)~£ with another cell with exactly the same entry? And is there a workaround? Thanks |

The tilde is causing the problem. I'm guessing because its a type of wildcard
character. Possible workarounds: Depending on what your doing, maybe using FIND, LOOKUP, or VLOOKUP? -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Smallweed" wrote: Hi - can anyone tell me why I get #NA when I try to match a cell with contents: AWDAXJ$(RI#S)~£ with another cell with exactly the same entry?

The tilde ~ character is a special control character. To use it
literally, use two. For example, =MATCH("AWDAXJ$(RI#S)~~£",G1:G10,0) Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Excel Product Group, 1998 - 2009 Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com (email on web site) On Fri, 9 Jan 2009 05:13:01 -0800, Smallweed wrote: Hi - can anyone tell me why I get #NA when I try to match a cell with contents: AWDAXJ$(RI#S)~£ with another cell with exactly the same entry?
