lookup error!
not a hundred percent sure but feel the OR() will not work as the lookup
value in the vlookup try just =VLOOKUP(MID(A1,6,6),sheet2!$A$1:$C$8,3,FALSE) additionally is column A in sheet 2 text or numbers one way to verify is to just use the following equation =mid(sheet1!A1,6,6)=sheet2!A1 if the answer is not "true" the sheet 2 value may be a number formated to show the initial 0.
