    Error with VLOOKUP formula

    Hi,

    I use vlookup to get data from another coloum.
    I copy-paste the data and the formula, but in some row the result of vlookup is N/A.
    The type of data is the same and I don't change the formula.
    any idea?

    please see the attachment for the file.
    Thanks

    change the "false" to "true"
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    If I change the 'false' to true, the result is wrong.

    The 2nd coloum is formula with "false".

    Re: Error with VLOOKUP formula

    seemingly, the percentages, division, rounding et al are playing mischief. i can't seem to attribute it to anything else.

    i found an ugly way around it. in the worksheet that you uploaded in post #1, place this in G2 and drag-fill down:

    =VLOOKUP(B2*1000/10,$P$2:$Q$27,2,FALSE)
    or
    =VLOOKUP(B2*1000/10,$P$2:$Q$27,2,TRUE)

    ostensibly, results are spot on (except for 118, which appears twice in the table_array with different corresponding alphabets - FALSE gets H, TRUE gets I).
    - i.s.z -
    CSE, aka Array aka { }, formulae are confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER.
    Replace commas ( , ) with semicolons ( ; ) in formulae, if your locale setting demands.
    All good ideas are courtesy resources from this forum as well as others around the web.
    - e.o.m -

    Re: Error with VLOOKUP formula

    Try =VLOOKUP(ROUND(B2*100,2),$P$2:$Q$27,2)
    You have two corresponding values for 118 in your VLOOKUP table
    118 H
    118 I
    The VLOOKUP will not work in this instance.
    Hope this helps
