    VLOOKUP error

    Please help. I have been building this estimating spreadsheet and strugling with this last part til I can't stand it anymore. I"m sure it's an easy fix without the tunnelvision.

    On the M & L sheet, at M7, I can't get the VLOOKUP to work. It references the materials and prices that are input in the table on the right but keeps giving me a #REF error. My other VLOOKUP works fine (it references another page that I deleted for size).

    Please help.

    Thanks a bunch

    defined name is wrong for SteelShapesList it needs to be
    ='M & L 1'!$T$9:$U$22 i.e the whole range so you get a column 2

    Hi,

    It apprears that you have deleted a Sheet from your workbook.
    The formula in Cell K7 on Sheet M & L 1 shows =VLOOKUP(H7,#REF!$B$6:$C$1191,2)
    Reinstate the sheet and redo your vlookup in cell K7.

    Cheers

    Tony
