I am trying to copy the following formula into multiple rows within the same column:
[FONT=&quot]=VLOOKUP(A2,'[Sheet1.xlsx]sheet1'!$A:$2:$AP$220,3,FALSE)

It seems to work, adding appropriate errors when no value can be returned but when I copy the formula down the column into different rows, it doesn't copy properly. It seems to appear as an error (Which is correct) until the first value can be returned. However the rows below this become the same value until a new value can be returned.

e.g.
[/FONT]
Returned ValueWhat should be returned
N/AN/A
YesYes
YesN/A
NoNo
NoN/A

<tbody>
</tbody>
[FONT=&quot]

I have checked the 'Calculations' and they are are set to automatic.

Does anyone have any ideas?[/FONT]

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
The referenced Workbook is Open?
use something similiar to
Code:
=A3=[COLOR=#000000][FONT='inherit']'[Sheet1.xlsx]sheet1'!A22[/FONT][/COLOR]
to force a comparison of what you expect to match but apparently isn't.
