Worked like a charm. Thanks Biff. I was trying to find the data in the 4th
column. I gotta go to bed earlier.

#N/A means there is no match between the lookup_value and the leftmost
column of the table_array. Concatenation will work as long as the
leftmost
column of the table_array contains the concatenated lookup values. You
can
concatenate the multiple lookup_values directly in the formula or use a
helper cell.

It's probably something simple like leading/trailing spaces

Hello;
I am doing a simple function. I can't believe I have been trying to get
this
to work for two hours. I know it's probably something stupid, so here
goes.
=VLOOKUP(C3,ProductList,10,FALSE)
This formula is returning #n/a.
ProductList is a named range on sheet 1. It refers to cells 'Product
List!'$a$2:$j$1000. I had renamed the sheet 1 to "Product List". I
renamed
the worksheet again, hoping it was a bug, to the letter a. No luck.
C3 is my qualifier. I have to qualify based on two criteria. IE all
"Black"
and "10 oz" or "Pepsi" and "1 liter". I have come up with a workaround
for
the vlookup by using a helper cell and concatenating the values. C3 is
concatenated from A3:B3 and the helper cell in my table concatenates
the
same, relative, information from the table. So I am searching the same
value.
Can vlookup lookup the values of cells that occur during concatenation?
I
just tried switching from the concatenated cells to static reference
cells
and still get the #n/a error.
10 is the column I am looking for the information for
False, Exact reference.
I have tried naming the table cells directly, naming fewer cells,
deleting
the named range and selecting the table. Nothings working. Maybe fresh
eyes
in the morning:)
Help, Please
God Bless
