Help me please, I can't understand why I'm getting the error in VLOOKUP formula, If I copy paste the cell value from the table, i get proper result, but if i manually enter i get the "#N/A" error..

The 'numbers' in the lookup column A are being stored as text, not numbers. If you enter your cursor into cell A5 after the number and then click ENTER, the number will right align and the VLOOKUP will now work. There are two options:

1. Change the text to numbers in the lookup table.
2. Change your formula to this: =VLOOKUP(TEXT($D$3,"00000"),Sheet1!$A$1:$AC$5555,2,FALSE)
 
So, JAlandhar - what did I do to you to deserve being marked as an ignored member by you? Don't you want my help? :eek:
