Hi Techies,

Please check file uploaded. In sheet: SOURCE I need vlookup function in B:B (=VLOOKUP(A6,Jenn!A:B,2,FALSE) but error coming as #N/A.

Please help and please explain why this error is coming.

Waiting for your reply.

Regards,
I Khan

Is there any matching entry?

However cell formatting does seem to be an issue. Group on Source sheet is number and Jenn sheet is text. You need to match it or you can change formula bit like below:

=VLOOKUP(A6&"",Jenn!A:B,2,FALSE)
 
Hi Khan ,

Can you explain what you wish to do ?

The VLOOKUP formula is returning a #N/A error because it is not able to find the looked for CELL_ID ( 404135000215663 ) in the list of IDs in column A on the sheet tab Jenn.

Hi Shri,

Problem is formatting difference as you mentioned. Your formula =VLOOKUP(A6&"",Jenn!A:B,2,FALSE) works very fine. I did this in other way as Select Jenn!A:A then Menu Data - Text to Columns- Finished. Apply normal Vlookup in SOURCE!B:2. And works too.

Thanks & Regards,
I Khan
