VLookUp Problems
 

I am trying to use the VLookUp option in a spread sheet and can get it
to work except for when the value that I am looking for is a letter.
How can I make the formula return the correct value ?

Since it should work, could you give an example when it's not working?

Will this work for you?

=vlookup(A1,$B$1:$C$100,2,*False*)

Note that I simply added the argument "False" in the VLookup formula.
Maybe adding the argument "False" in your formula will help you out.

Regards.

Thanks Benjie,

That fixed my problems.
What was happening was the return value that I was getting was the
value in the last cell of the array. For example:
=VLOOKUP(C697,InventoryCtrl!A2:F175,6) was returning the value in F175
regardless if the lookup value was in the Table Array. When I put the
False in the formula: =VLOOKUP(C697,InventoryCtrl!A2:F175,6,FALSE) it
worked fine. Now it will also work, where it wouldn't be for, just
selecting all the columns: =VLOOKUP(C697,InventoryCtrl!A:F,6,FALSE),
which what I originally wanted.


Thanks Again
