Why #NA when using VLOOKUP?
I'm trying to use VLOOKUP to find lowest value in a small group. The exact sample is below:
A B 1 3.0001 A 2 2.9442 B 3 2.9610 C 4 2.9055 D 5 2.9630 E The formula I'm using is =VLOOKUP(MIN(A1:A5),A1:B5,1) . I'm trying to get it to return the lowest cost, from column A. If I take out Row 4, it works. But with Row 4 in it, it returns a value of #N/A, I'm guessing from the HELP screen it's because "...lookup_value is smaller than the smallest value in the first column of table_array, VLOOKUP returns the #N/A error..." Sorry, don't get it. Anyone feels like helping a noobie get it thru his skull? Thanks, Jim Dixon |
