Changing a formula to read a general value?

Prev: count of number of rows within a range with a certain text
Next: Replacing one text with three in IF(ISERROR(FIND.......Max
From: Zuo on 13 May 2010 13:56 A few months ago I had asked a question and got this answer: Question: I have a a set of values in A1 through A100. I need to look up each value and find a match in another set of values located in C1 through C200. If a match is found then I need the formula located in column B to return the value in the same row but the next column over (D). Answer: =IF(ISNUMBER(VLOOKUP(A1,$C$1:$D$200,2,0)), VLOOKUP(A1,$C$1:$D$200,2,0), "") Copy down through A100. The formula worked fine, however the reference value and the look up value are not any more numbers but a combination of letters and numbers (i.e. T-410TFG2-A) and the formula is not reading them. How can I fix the formula? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, ZUO

Maybe this... =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,$C$1:$D$200,2,0)),"",VLOOKUP(A1,$C$1:$D$200,2,0)) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Zuo" <Zuo(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:00A7669C-DEEA-46BB-8DA7-827BDF243F2A(a)microsoft.com... >A few months ago I had asked a question and got this answer: > > Question: > I have a a set of values in A1 through A100. > I need to look up each value and find a match in > another set of values located in C1 through C200.
