I have made this formula and the criteria is not working properly. =VLOOKUP($G$2,emplist,2,1)

G2 is the social sec # I input

emplist is the database of name, dept, ss#, title.

The right criteria appears for title & dept.

However, for the name it appears a different name other than the ss# specified. What is wrong?

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.

try =VLOOKUP($G$2,emplist,2,false)
