You're on the right track.......assuming your VLOOKUP formula is put in
Worksheet B cell H2 and copied down it should work.....also assuming that Worksheet A is named Sheet1. Things that can confound this situation is that the Names have to be exactly the same, in spelling and with regard to leading or trailing spaces.........copy and paste A2 from Worksheet B to A2 Worksheet A (if it's named Sheet1) and it should work.....indicating that there is a difference in spelling or invisible spaces, etc. Post back if you still have problems Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "klmiura" wrote in message ...

Your formula should work. It is possible that there are spaces or other junk
in Company Name data on one (or both of the sheets). Try copying one of the values from Worksheet A to Worksheet B and see if the formula works. If it does you have something in your data. The Trim and Clean functions can help you clean up your data. -- If this helps, please remember to click yes.

Eduardo, I did as you suggested and unfortunately it still didn't work...I am
perplexed, because I know I have done this before and I don't remember it being this difficult.

I did the clean thing and it didn't help...yes the spelling and case are
exactly the same because I copied it from one to another so I know it is identical...I am at a loss.

Copy your formula down column H to see if any of the other names come
through.........what return ae you getting from your formula...... are you getting, #N/A or something else? Rename Worksheet A to the Sheet1 name same as is in your formula.....even if it already looks like it matches, it may have a leading or trailing space.
