VLOOKUP
Using Excel 2003. I am trying to lookup a value in a separate workbook
called 2008Studio which has one worksheet called ST. Data is in cells A2 to A 176. The cells are all formatted as general. have tried using "Insert, Function which gives me =VLOOKUP(B6,[2009Studios.xls]ST!A2:A176,2,FALSE) I have also tried =VLOOKUP(B6,[2009Studios.xls]ST!,2,FALSE) but all is get is #REF in the target cell. Any help would be appreciated. |

VLOOKUP
=VLOOKUP(B6,[2009Studios.xls]ST!A2:A176,2,FALSE)
The problem is that your lookup_table only has one column yet the col_index_num argument is set to column 2. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Rob H" <Rob wrote in message ... Using Excel 2003.

VLOOKUP
Thanks, I changed the col_num_index to A2:M176 and it worked right away - it
certainly wasn't made clear in the help or the MS manual that I needed the whole array description. "T.
