Alex, click on each cell---the one you're looking up and the one that should
be found---and see exactly what the values are in the formula bar. Then work
with the values and not the formats.

When the help say the third argument specifies the column from which to
return a value, it means the count relative to the second argument. So you
would have
=VLOOKUP(A59,'Data from MIS'!D4:E40,2,FALSE)
I would think

Hi Anne

Well in that case it should work shouldn't it? The data is below.
Shouldn't the cell I'm working with show 72?

'Data from MIS'!D15, shows Aug-04; 'Data from MIS'!E15 shows 72
A59 shows Aug-04 in cell, and 01/08/04 in Formula Bar.

Hi. In Access I have a query which groups and counts a Medium Date field as
follows:
Marked: Format([Date Started],"mmm-yy")
StartCount: Count(Format([Date Started],"mmm-yy"))

In Excel I bring the data into a worksheet, 'Data from Mis' and have set the
field properties to Custom Date MMM-YY

On a second sheet, I am trying to set A59 (formatted Custom: mmm-yy) Vloopup
as follows:
=VLOOKUP(A59,'Data from MIS'!D4:D40,'Data from MIS'!E4:E40,FALSE)

I am returning an N/A -

Can someopne tell me why this is not working - is it a format type problem?

Thanks

Alex
