I have a formula that is giving me a #value error. I am trying to match the value in Sheet1!B2 to Sheet2|ColumnB I have tried different combinations with no luck. The value I am looking for is in Sheet2!B94.

=VLOOKUP(TRIM(Sheet1!B2)|TRIM(Sheet2!A1:B94)|2|FALSE)

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.

The TRIM on A1:B94 produces the #VALUE error. Why don't you just clean up the lookup range and lookup value. Is that how you're entering the formula with ||

I am using | with the formula because commas cause an error. What do you mean by clean up the range?
