VLOOKUP

From: PAL on 5 May 2010 13:01 I am using VLOOKUP as I have many times in the past. The formula I am using is: =VLOOKUP($A3,Raw,2,FALSE) It returns a "0" presumeably becasue it thinks the value in column 2 is "0". It returns the same thing regardless of the column, with one exception, column 1. It returns that value appropriately. The format for the columns vary between numbers, texts, dates. Thanks in advance
From: Dave Peterson on 5 May 2010 13:12 You'll see that 0 if the "sending" cell is empty. My guess is that the "sending" cell contains 0 or is empty AND there's a match higher in the range that you're not noticing. Or maybe Raw isn't the range you expected it to be. You may want to share what's in $a3, too. PAL wrote: > > I am using VLOOKUP as I have many times in the past.

From: Tom Hutchins on 5 May 2010 13:27 What is your question? From your example, "Raw" must be a named range spanning at least two contiguous columns. The value you are matching (from A3) must be in the leftmost column of the range "Raw", and the value to be returned must be in the second column of the range "Raw".
