The VLOOKUP function is returning a value exactly one row above the row it
should be using.

You'll need to post the formula with an explanation of what it's supposed to
do.

If you want an exact match then you need to use a 4th parameter in the
VLOOKUP function and set it to 0 or FALSE.

Hope this helps.

Be sure to include the False:

=VLOOKUP(something, some_array, some_column, FALSE)

Post your formula.

Set the last range_kookup to 0 or FALSE for an exact match....

=VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,ra nge_lookup)

as
=VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,0)

=VLOOKUP("Total 5620 ˆ™ Payroll Taxes",'09 NI'!$D$5:$AB$186,23,TRUE)
I am trying to pull data from an Quickbooks excel report. This formula
returns the value directly above the row that contains Total 5620 ˆ™ Payroll
Taxes

If I change it to FALSE it returns #N/A. I have one formula that works and
the other formulas are bringing in a value from the row above.

I think it is the middle dot that Quickbooks insists on using in the item
description. I have to do an edit replace to get the dot out before the
formulas will work. Thank you everyone for trying to help.
