hi,

i'm having a problem using vlookup to return a text string. I can find the text no problem but when the vlookup returns the text string it removes all formatting of the text.

Some of the text I need to lookup also has is multi-format:
eg. "The BIG red cat"

Does anybody know a way to run some type of look up which returns not just the values but also the formats on a text string?

any help will be much appreciated.

cheers

j.
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Sorry Jim but VLOOKUP only returns values not formatting.:)
