Excel: VLOOKUP returns #N/A for a sorted value that exists?? WHY?
I've tried rounding both the lookup table and the value in case this was a
rounding issue. The stranger thing is that VLOOKUP works for *most* values, but every 4th (or 8TH) value errors out. (eg. looking up 101.35% works, 101.40% works, 101.45% works but 101.50% doesn't) |

Hi
Maybe its just a empty space before your numbers,you can't see it but will give you in return #na as a result. Check it HTH John "iguttin" wrote in message ...

The numbers I'm using for the table and within the lookup were generated
using a formula (ie. value above + 0.05%) so they don't have empty spaces.

Hi
Your formula Vlookup "Range Lookup" is it set to "False" exact match, if so then it looks like a rounding error. just for trial switch the function to "True" and see what you get.

Hi,
Probably still a rounding error. The default vlookup is =. So if the cell value is 101.499999999 but displays 101.50 Excel will return the 101.45% John "iguttin" wrote in message ...
