1.vlookup:suddenly doesn't work for half the rows in the same wk.bk
I have a vlookup retrieving info from another page in the same workbook. To make things easy I copy the first row of formulas to the rows below and it works up to a ceratin row, and the I get #N/A. The error description is "Inconsistent formula" and the trace has a line from the lookup value to the cell next to it and then a dotted line to another cell two rows up. I have no clue why there is this difference - I have changed cell formats both on the source page and in my report page; the formula is the same as the rows above (they work, btw) so what is the problem with the rest of the rows? Any comments or suggestions?
2.vlookup:suddenly doesn't work for half the rows in the same wk
Hi, You're right I haven't used absolutes. I have a source page with information for a project within the same row (to the right of the project number). Then the range of the whole sheet is named Calculatie. So the formula on the report sheet is =if(A3=0;"";VLOOKUP(A3;calculatie;3;false)) This formula is the same for each cell below including the one containing #N/A except of course the lookup value is different because it is a new row. I considered the fact that the problem info may fall outside of the named range, but I renamed it and re-enterd the VLOOKUP formula and still no joy. So, any ideas?

3.vlookup doesn't work consistently (I think), kindly help
I am using VLOOKUP() to pull out a column value from a range of data. Here is the problem: When I use this fn on the same page as the referenced range, it works fine. For example, =VLOOKUP(L2,A2:I18,5) looks up the value in L2, finds it in the first column and returns the 5th column data... BUT =VLOOKUP(G6,'Master Prep List'!A2:I18,5) where G6 represents a value found in the same range on a different worksheet, here Master Prep List, returns #N/A. This does not seem correct to me, unless I am not using the fn correctly, which is always a possibility. I am using Excel 2007, Any help/insight would be appreciated.
I am unable to do a vlookup between different workbooks. I does however work within the same workbook. Is their something I need to do to turn this functionality on. -- Thanks Michelle
5.vlookup doesn't always work in this situation
I'm using Access vb to copy an Excel spreadsheet to a new filename, then fill in values from a recordset. The source .xls has formulas that use vlookup() and match() to find values in a third spreadsheet. (The values to be looked up and matched are blank until my code fills them in.) When I open the newly created spreadsheet, I get the msg asking me if I want to refresh the lookups. If I say NO, then all my formulas containing lookup() and match() work as expected. If I say YES, then all of them return #NA. If I say NO then try to edit one of the formulas, that formula turns to text. Any suggestions? Thanks.
