    Need help trying to insert a CONCATENATE into a VLOOKUP

    I am trying to run a VLOOKUP with a Concatenate it in that contains an ' and I keep getting #N/A. I have tried other signs/symbols and the vlookup does work so I know it has to do with the apostrophe. I'm using F9 Financial Reporter that is an add-in on Excel and when it pulls info from our Accounting System it puts an ' in front of the account number (ie, '491000). My vlookup formula I am using is =vlookup(Concatenate("'",A8),Input!$E$27:$R$732,4,FALSE) (A8 being 491000). I want to know how I need to re-adjust my formula or if there is another way to go about this.



    Thanks

    concatenate should work too... Can you post example workbook?
    Never use Merged Cells in Excel

    Text (A8, "#") worked. Thanks for the help.
