Hello, having one heck of a time with a seemingly routine VLOOKUP. For some reason, I cannot get this to work - I've tried formatting as general, number, text, with no luck. Naming a range, using a locked range instead, nothing. I keep getting a #N/A "value not available" error.
Here's the setup:
<tbody>
</tbody>
First column is serial number, second is model year. My reference table is a list of Serial Start numbers with corresponding Years. I want my VLOOKUP to look at the serial number, match the first three digits to the Serial Start column, and return the year.
Here is an example of what I currently have in the cell (which is returning the above error):
=VLOOKUP(A2,D$2$:E$3$,2,TRUE)
Absolutely 100% sure all values are in the table, so this error is baffling me. Any help would be appreciated!
Here's the setup:
A | B | C | D | E | ||
1 | Serial Number | Model Year | Serial Start | Year | ||
2 |
<tbody> </tbody> | *where vlookup goes, should return 2011 | 909 | 2009 | ||
3 |
<tbody> </tbody> | *where vlookup goes, should return 2009 | 911 | 2011 |
