Vlookup no working
I have only 2 worksheets in column A is the item # which sometimes has a
letter associated with it as in 815NB in column B is the desctiption. This formula works fine when the cell only contains a number but will not including the letter. I can manually retype the cell info and the formula will find it even with the letter association. Worksheet 1 has 14000 rows and Worksheet 2 has 3000 rows, so I only need some of the information from the 1st worksheet. The formula I'm using is =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,LKF!A:B,2, FALSE)), "", VLOOKUP(A1,LKF!A:B,2, FALSE)) Sorry for the length. I also tried to change text numbers to numbers and this did not work either. Thanks for any assistance |

To be absolutely sure your values match, you should be able to copy one and
replace the other (supposed) match with it (or just type the same value into both cells), and see if it works now. If it DOES, then likely, one of your lists has spaces in the values somehow. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Rose Davis" wrote in message ...

I am able to replace the cells with a typed and or copied one and I will get
a match, but I don't have spaces between the values. Here is a sample of the item #'s. 8110101Y-LN 81101035 8110113 8120002-LN 8120002-LNHS 8120100 8120100SYG Thanks "Anne Troy" wrote in message ...

Sorry, Rose. I didn't mean "between" the values. But perhaps there's
something weird before or after the values. Insert a column and try =trim(a1) on these values, and then replace the old values with the trimmed values (copy, Edit--Paste special, Values) and delete the column you inserted to trim them. See if that helps. If not, I'm willing to have a look at your workbook. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Rose Davis" wrote in message ...

That did it. Last part of my problem. How do I get 3 cells to replace 3
cells based on if J1=yes or no. I have information in cells c1,d1,e1 and I need to replace these with the information in cells f1, g1, h1. Basically just clearing those 3 cells and replacing with f,g,h. I am unable to delete and move left because of the amount of information in 14000 rows. "Anne Troy" wrote in message ... Sorry, Rose.

When you have a different question, you might want to ask it new only
because the questions get old fast around here, and asking it new should get you a qucker answer. :) I'm not sure I understand what you're doing, but if you wanted c1, d1, e1 to be equal to f1, g1, h1 ONLY if J1 says "Yes", then try something like this (I am assuming that right now the values you have in c1, d1, and e1 are "A", "B", and "C". So in C1: =if(J1="Yes",f1,"A") in D1: =if(J1="Yes",g1,"B") in E1: =if(J1="Yes",h1,"C") I hope it helps! ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Rose Davis" wrote in message ... That did it.
