Hello,

my vlookup did return a value however I thin it is lying to me. When I have a filer on the column and look for the value as a check, it does not appear.
When I try a control f the value does not appear.

I have not tried an index match yet.

Is there a simple formula to locate the position of a value in a column ?

thank you,
Rich
