Matching problem
Hi there
I am currently using an Index/Match formula to match and transfer data between two tables {=INDEX(UPRNmatch.xls!Gaz,MATCH(O10047,UPRNmatch.x ls!Match,0),1)}. This has worked fine, until I added new data to the lookup table which I copied and pasted from access. For some reason, the same formula that worked earlier will not match the new data. However, if I type over the data, all of a sudden everything matches. Ive checked that the formats are the same, and they are so Im confused as to why this is happening. Any ideas? Cheers |
