Hi all! Greetings from San Francisco, CA. Got into Excel during a brief stint as an investment banker, enjoyed creating models ever since. Looking forward to posting and solving problems on here.

Joined to ask a question about using VLOOKUP in conjunction with RAND() values. This Google sheet should illustrate my issue: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...7H8/edit#gid=0

Shouldn't the VLOOKUP function in A13 return the alphabetical value in the (X, Y) position in the table? I'm sometimes getting back numeric values so I think something's wrong.

Having this same problem in my desktop versions of Excel so don't think it's a Google Doc issue.

Thanks in advance and looking forward to meeting y'all.
