VLOOKUP

For the VLOOKUP formula to work, I need to double click each cell otherwise it shows N/A. If I convert the cell from GENERAL to NUMBER, the VLOOUP results are not being showed. How to overcome this? Pl

Try this,

in G2 formula copied down :

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(0+F2,$B$2:$C$118,2,0),"")

Remark : only 49 cells got results, the other return blank.
 
How to overcome this?
First of all remove the manual alignment
You now see col F is text ( left aligned ) and col B are numbers.
Adding 0 to text looking like a number ( or any arithmetic operation for that matter), coerces it to a number ( see post #2) and saves the day
