I am exporting a query from Access 2000 to Excel 97 - 2000.
- There are 4 columns (3 text fields and a number field).
After exporting, the text fields data all display a leading apostrophe (') i.e Golf becomes 'Golf, Coil Pack becomes 'Coil Pack, the exported number field is OK.
Why is this?

Thanks in advance

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
