Hi,
I can not see why VLOOKUP isn’t working for me.
It should be returning “ignore” as per the data table however it isn’t – it returns something else instead.
Why would this be?
I have uploaded the file and highlited in yellow the incorrect formula result on the “Data” sheet.
Vlookup looks at * as a wildcard and found the first occurance of the phrase within B71 instead of in B75.
try:
=VLOOKUP(SUBSTITUTE(B5,"*","~*"),Lookup!$B$5:$D$435,3,FALSE)
The ~ negates the wildcard
Where there is a will there are many ways.
