Vlookup Problem
Hi All,
I am dealing with a vlookup issue that i just can't figure out. I have a vlookup statement that works fine, something to the extent of vlookup(1.001, A1:C10, 9) for example. However, when i change 1.001 to a cell reference say C30 where C30 = 1.001, it doesn't work!!!! i can't for the life of me figure out why not. the help says referencing a cell for the lookup value should work fine. Any thoughts?!? |

Vlookup Problem
I should also note that in cell C30 is calculated like =C29 + .001
where C29 is 1. It doesn't like this for some reason. if i put in C29 just 1.001 then it works.

Vlookup Problem
Maybe the value in C30 is being recognized as text. Make sure that cell
is formatted as 'General' or similar format (except text), and then re-enter the number 1.001 in C30.

Does C29 contain a formula? If so, can you post the formula you're
using? In article , busboy10 wrote: I should also note that in cell C30 is calculated like =C29 + .001 where C29 is 1. It doesn't like this for some reason. if i put in C29 just 1.001 then it works.

Any thoughts?!? I am wondering if it is a precision issue since these are decimals. I have made sure that everything is listed as a number. C29 is just a static value of 1. |

Vlookup Problem
Hi,
If your range is only A1:C10, then how can the column index be 9? The column index should be any number upto 3 -- Regards, Ashish Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP www.ashishmathur.com "busboy10" wrote in message ...
