I understand that excel is not seeing a match. But if I do the following the
file is recognized. I copy the file(containing a column of names and column of numbers) and past to excel.I then copy from excel to lotus 123 and then from lotus 123 back to excel. Is there any reason for this and is there any other, less cumbersome, proceedure??? "George A. Yorks" wrote: Ihave tried to copy data from USA Today report. When I past to excel worksheet all cells are obliterated. Does this account for the data not being recognized. If so is there anything that can be done to make this data useable?? Thanks for all the help and information "Myrna Larson" wrote: Well, Excel isn't seeing a match. For one of the formulas that you expect to return a value, what is in column B, and what is the matching data in column C or your table on Sheet3? Could the problem be that you have numbers in one place and text that looks like a number (but is stored as text) in the other? If so, they won't match, e.g. 1 doesn't match "1" On Mon, 21 Feb 2005 13:55:04 -0800, George A.

Thanks for the help. I am confronted with a new scenario which I'll present
for help. One worksheet titled geo I have a list of names b4 thru b18 and data in k4thru k18. I want to transfere the data to worksheet titled miriam after searching for the exact names.

I would guess that perhaps the data that's in AX3 doesn't *exactly* match
what's in Column B. Do you import any of your data? Are the names "full" names, first, and/or middle and last names, where there might be a possibilty that the spaces between them might not be a normal Char(32) space? Could there be a possibility of leading and/or trailing spaces? For a test, key a name into Column B. Enter that same name in *exactly* the same way into AX3, and see if you get a correct return from your formula. -- Regards, RD -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ------------------------------------------------------------------- "George A.

If you sometimes have double or triple spaces, you can do a search and replace
on column AX: search for two spaces and replace with 1 space. Repeat until Excel tell you there are no more matches. On Mon, 7 Mar 2005 20:17:02 -0800, George A.

My column is comprised of names with varied spaces between first and last
name.As you suggested went to edit find/replace and in the find place the name with extra spaces. in the replace entered the name with one place and clicked on find. Nothing.
