ISNA VLOOKUP does not recognize 63023
Hello
I need help. The formula listed below works for all the employee numbers on my spreadsheet which are in column B except for the employee number 63023. I tried to convert this number to a text, general, number, reentered it on another row and spreadsheet and it does not work; instead I get a zero value. The only time it works is when I key it in as €˜63023. Why does it work for all other 4 or 5 digit numbers and not 63023? =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B260,Sheet1!$B$5:$H$290,COLUMNS(S heet1!$B:$H),FALSE))=TRUE,0,VLOOKUP(B260,Sheet1!$B $5:$H$290,COLUMNS(Sheet1!$B:$H),FALSE)) |

Maybe the number 63023 has been entered as text in column B on Sheet1.

I'd still say it was a mismatched text/number thing.
Make sure you format both cells (the lookup value and the cell in the table that matches!) and then reenter the value in both locations -- it's not enough to just reformat the cell.

ISNA VLOOKUP does not recognize 63023
Hi
I formatted the cells to match and it still does not work. I used a new spreadsheet and keyed the data in and it still does not give me the correct amount. When I key in another employee number in the the same cell - it will retrieve the data so it is not the format in question . It just does not like 63023? Any other suggestions?

It's not enough to just change the format. You have to change the value, too.
Remember to change the value in both locations, too. And verify that your =vlookup() table is ok. If you have the matching value in A23 and your =vlookup() looks like: =vlookup(x99,sheet2!a1:b20,2,false) It'll never find that match. If this doesn't help, you may want to share the formula, too.
