    Are there exact matches for those items? Check for extra spaces, etc.. and if they are supposed to be numbers, check that they are not in fact text entries that look like numbers.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Hi,

    Are you using absolute references for your Table_array?

    Cheers,
