Vlookup returns n/a for all lines - what am I missing?
I have pulled some data into a spreadsheet from an Access database (model #
and ATP) My vlookup formula is this =VLOOKUP(B6,live,2,FALSE) B6 is the model # , live is the name I gave the data from Access, 2 is the 2nd field in my list from Access (#1 is model and #2 is ATP) and false because they are not in sequential order when they import from Access. I always get n/a and I can't figure out why! thanks |

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B6,live,2,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(B6,l ive,2,FALSE)) If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Lorina" wrote: I have pulled some data into a spreadsheet from an Access database (model # and ATP) My vlookup formula is this =VLOOKUP(B6,live,2,FALSE) B6 is the model # , live is the name I gave the data from Access, 2 is the 2nd field in my list from Access (#1 is model and #2 is ATP) and false because they are not in sequential order when they import from Access.

Check for spaces or other non-printing characters in bothe the search
argument and the list. You can use the LEN() function to see how many characters Excel think there are and compare that with what you see Also, check that both are numeric or both are text (with the ISTEXT() or ISNUMBER() function) -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "Lorina" wrote in message ...

Oops...I thought you are looking to handle n/a..ok ..Since the data is
imported from Access, check few matching entries for any space/special character before or after the entries..
