Hello,

I am trying to make a worksheet vlookup from another data source using the below.

=VLOOKUP(C10,'C:\Users\scusk1\Desktop\Stephen\Archived Workbooks\[Driver Database Live.xlsx]iForm Data'!$1:$1048576,11,FALSE)

Can anyone spot an error as it is returning NA

Thanks
Stephen

Hi,

VLOOKUP return NA when it doesn't find the value to search.
It probably just didn't find your C10 value in the first culumn of your external sheet.
Also $1:$1048576 looks a bit vague for a searching area. Do you really need to look in the whole sheet ?

Thank you. I have just changed the column in my eternal sheet that I am searching for by converting to number and it is now working.

Than you for your reply
