    lookup with one result show 0 only: funny bug attached file

    Hi all,

    I have this lookup formula with one result only.

    =lookup(a1,b1:b10,c1)

    say a1 = 2-10,
    b1:10 = 1 to 10
    c1 = 100

    a1 = 1 is ok.

    Tried =lookup(a1,b1:b10,c1:c1) not working.

    Result shows 0 and not the value.

    Is there any way to show the value not the 0?

    Which is the expected result? What are you trying to do?

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

    Hi
    a1 = 1 is ok. because there is value (100) in c1 cell and when formula looks up for value 1 (a1 cell) it brings 100. Also formula will bring "0" value in any other value than 1 (untill 10) because they are blank. You have to fill with numbers range c1:c10.
