I am using a VLOOKUP function to bring in data from an additional workbook. It does not seem to work unless I give it a little push start. I either need to click on the cell and then the formula box to somewhat activate the formula and then hit enter. Which it will bring it in or I can bring up the workbook and then it will bring it in. Is there a way to set it up so either of these two steps could be avoided?

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Sort by date Sort by votes
Check calculation status Turn it to Automatic mode:
Option > Calculation > Automatic
