Hi all,
I am getting annoyed by this and I cannot work out why the vlookup formula is returning #N/A when the value it is looking for exists.
the cells:
column C column D column E column F
formula in D2
=VLOOKUP(C2,E2:F7,2,FALSE)
my formula; pretty simple right? The result I get below:
Column C is a formula result of extracting 1st 7 digits of number/text
Steps I took:
1. copied the formula result of Column C and paste it as value in another column and changed vlookup to look up that value - same result
2. copied it all to a new spreadsheet - same result
3. copied column E and F and paste it as values to another sheet; same result
I don't know what to do next, I am stuck on trying to solve this.
