    VLOOKUP Not Finding Numeric Values

    Hi Everyone,

    This is driving me mad! I have a DATA worksheet containing alpa numeric and numeric references both formatted as such. When I try to VLOOKUP the numeric value, it does not find the value although I know it's there. Even when I put an apostrophe in front of the number on the MAIN SHEET, it still does not find it.

    I'm getting my knickers in a right old twist and will probably kick myself if it turns out to be something really simple.

    Any help would be very gratefully received.

    Andy

    Hi select column A (main sheet) and choose "text to columns" command -> click 2 times next button -> click finish button. Do the same with column B. It should help
