Default Lengthy Vlookup Values

I have formula:

=VLOOKUP($A11, Target Array,12,False), I copy it down and it works
great....usually.

Occassionally I run into an entry in column A that is long and it won't
work. For instance the entry:

%,NCOMPENSATION Then the formula doesn't return a value.

But if I change the entry by removing the last letter both the column and
the target array:

%,NCOMPENSATIO Then it does return a value (the correct one).

That is happening whenever I find an entry over 14 characters. Is there a
limitation of some sort? Is there a workaround?
