    Problem with LOOKUP Function

    Hello,

    I'm having problem with LOOKUP Function.

    For some reason, it takes the wrong value. The formula below takes value "logo patch",

    from:

    Capture2.JPG

    searches for it in:
    Capture.JPG

    But returns the wrong value:
    Capture2.JPG

    Any ideas why?

    Love the image, but next post - please use the ALT+X Go Adavanced feature to share a workbook.

    I enjoy helping others, but if I have to retype your image it becomes a nuisance and will discourage others from assisting.

    That being said, a lookup formula is one I basically consider dead in the library of formulas.

    Move to a Vlookup or Index/Match.

    You will find much more success in utilizing these.

    Attempt them in your book and then share your test (Make a test sheet with fake names instead of coloring over names and colours)

    Then share the test file so we can further assist you!

    Heya,

    Noted.

    VLOOKUP had the same problem. INDEX+MATCH worked!

    Thanks you!
