    Re: Two numbers as text not equal...why?

    Xor, I tried that (turned the format of two cells to text than pasted as values), and it did not work. You can try in the file I sent and you will see.

    Ok AlKey that was helpful in getting them to match. Now how does this translate to a Vlookup? How do I get the Vlookup to see them as "Exact".

    Thanks.
