I am using Vlookup to compare our item number with the suppliers item number but the result is removing the decimal point on some but not all items. I would greatly appreciate any help as I have tried everything to try and get the points without success. I have included a small sample but it concerns almost 10.000 items.
Regards,

thats because the answer it is returning IS a number, try this...
=TEXT(VLOOKUP(B20,H:J,3,TRUE),"?,?")
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

I have checked the suppliers original price list and the format is numbers but when I paste into new sheet the format changes to a combination of general and numbers.
maybe..
=VLOOKUP(B3,H:J,3,FALSE)
format as #,###,###

Say thanks, Click *
it maybe be your regional settings for seperators
i tested it again on all your cells and it worked ok. maybe change the , for ;
I believe you have to format the cells OR Column as Text and Paste the data using PasteSpecial>>Values to get rid of this issue.

I solved this by formatting column "A" as Number using the 1000 separator and no decimal places. Thank you everybody for your help,
