Hi,

I have a column of values of 6 digit numbers, formatted in the cells as numbers. These come from a formula so
Code:
=LEFT(RIGHT(B:B,24),6)
returns 327549 in column F.

I would like to find out which of these numbers are also in column G in another sheet called ISA in the same workbook. There is at least 1 match, so I put this VLOOKUP formula in column G on my sheet:

Code:
=VLOOKUP(F2,ISA!A1:K8244,7,FALSE)

But all I get is a
Code:
#N/A
error.

If I do a CTRL-F search in the ISA sheet, using 327549 it is found in cell G7288

what could I be doing wrong, and is there a better way?

thanks

Philip
