Whether VLOOKUP can find Text
Hi,
Just add 0 as the last argument. Please try this VLOOKUP(B5,Sheet1!$B$1:$D$50,2,0) -- Regards, Ashish Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP www.ashishmathur.com "vmohan1978" wrote in message ...

Try it like this:
=VLOOKUP(B5,Sheet1!$B$1:$D$50,2,0) The 0 means exact match. When you leave out that last argument the formula assumes your data is sorted in ascending order and if an exact match doesn't exist you want an "approximate" match. However, if the data isn't sorted then you can get incorrect results. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "vmohan1978" wrote in message ... Whether Vlookup will find Text?
