Index table lookup anomaly
I have a spreadsheet with a table lookup. This is the formula I use:
=INDEX('PRODUCT TABLE'!$E$2:$M$146,MATCH(L23,'PRODUCT TABLE'!$E$2:$E$145,0),9) It returns a correct response (or 0) for every lookup except MR! If I change the L23 cell to MP I get the correct response for MP. If I change it back to MR, I get #N/A. I have changed the Product Table cells for MR - brought the cell above (MP) down to the MR cell and changed it to MR, added and deleted the other lookup fields in the table hoping to get a response - nothing. I've deleted the MR rows and added them back in - nothing. Any ideas besides changing the MR code to something else? I don't want to do that since the MR is the logical code to use. Thanks, Carole O |

and there're no blanks in your lookup table for the 'MR' value? -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "Carole O" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... I have a spreadsheet with a table lookup.

Hi, Frank -
Here's an update. I inserted 3 lines above MP, moved MP to the new lines, re-entered MR, and deleted the MR lines. Guess what - it works!! There must have been an unprintable character in those lines. Thanks again for your interest and help.
