All,

When I run vlookup on a selected range of data, then answers returned to
me are from the cell directly above.

ie:-

a 10 1
b 20 2
c 30 3

if the above date was my range ("data") and I use the formula:-
=vlookup(a1,data,2)

I put "b" in cell a1 and it will return me the data for row a,10,1

why would it do that ?!?!?
