Problem with Vlookup
Hi,
Check that the names are identical sometimes one of them has an space or other simbol, 2) Highlight both columns and do text to columns "Confused" wrote: I am using Vlookup to find names in one file and replace it with emails from another.

Problem with Vlookup
The data is arranged in 2 excel spreadsheets in columns. The names are
written the same way and both formatted as text. I hve tried formatting both columns same way. same problem. If I retype both names in the two spreadsheets the correct info is returned.

Problem with Vlookup
Please check for spaces in your original data.
Try =LEN(A1) and compare the len. If different TRIM your data and try lookup.. -- If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Confused" wrote: The data is arranged in 2 excel spreadsheets in columns.

Problem with Vlookup
The data is arranged in columns in excel spreadsheets. The names are
displaying the same way. I have formatted them all as text. The formula I use is :=VLOOKUP(38, A2:C10, 3, FALSE).

Formatting changes only how cells are displayed, not the cells' underlying values. Formulas work only on the underlying values which formatting doesn't affect.

Problem with Vlookup
Is 38 the number you are looking for. In your orignal post you have mentioned
that you are looking the name to get the email id. Try replacing the number with a text string which is present in the table and see.. =VLOOKUP("John", A2:C10, 3, FALSE) If this dont work please let us know how the data is arranged...

Problem with Vlookup
Hi,
If you retype the names and works there is something different, try in both columns =trim(a1) and copy all the way down "Confused" wrote: The data is arranged in 2 excel spreadsheets in columns.
