Dear Experts,
I currently got a strange problem with Vlookup for number matching. Here is the data sample in my file:
The problem is:
+ I have numeric data at column A, started from 0 at cell A2, and I use auto fill (0.1 increase each row) function from Excel to get column A filled in with 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ....
+ At column F, I have manually entered with 0 at F2, from F3, I use formula to increase by 0.1 (i.e F3=F2+0.1, and so on)
Now, at B2, I use this formula:
=VLOOKUP(A2,$F$2:$F$21,1,FALSE)
Then drag the formula down for column B.
The strange thing happened at B5, B10, B11, B12 and B13 as it returns #N/A (while other are working fine). I already use IF condition to check for equality of A5 and F5 for example, the result is TRUE.
Could anyone explain to me why it is working like this, please? Is it a bug from Excel?
Many thanks for help.
