Hi All,

I have a column that has 1,000 rows in it. Each cell in the column has a VLOOKUP function in it. When I search in that column I get an error telling me it can't find what I'm looking for. For example if "Sales" was the result of one of the VLOOKUPS in the column and I do a Control F and enter "Sales" I get the error.

How can I search within that column without copying and pasting values over the VLOOKUP? Please help.

Thanks,

Colin
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Verify the following:

Look in: Values
Within: Sheet
