excel - VLOOKUP with Alphnumeric codes Failing even though they are equal. -


What am I trying to do, search for alphanumeric serial numbers in a range of data in another sheet I'm using VLOOKUP for However, it does not seem that this is a match when I know for a fact that there exists and that they are formatted in the same way.

The values ​​I am working with look like this: FTX1724R3W2

I have run a = A1 = B2 function and it gives TRUE. I have copied and pasted each other to make sure that the formatting is the same, yet it still gives the #n / a goes wrong even by using matches

I'm not sure What's happening, do I need to format alphanumeric code specifically so that they are "searchable"?

I am using VLUUP ...

  = VLOOKUP (L2489, inventory_list! $ A $ 1: $ D $ 2176, 1, wrong )  

My ultimate goal is to get it in another sheet and give value to the first indexed column, which is the name of the object object

any help Would be appreciated. Thank you.

VLOOKUP () searches for the first column of the indicated range, to effect the function, the serial number column Keep your search as the left column of the category.

From the Microsoft:

VLOOKUP (lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, range_lookup)

Lookup_value value to search in the first column of table array. Lookup_value can be a value or a reference. If the lookup_value table_array is smaller than the smallest value in the first column, VLOOKUP returns the # N / A error value.

Two or more columns of Table_array data use a reference to a category or category name Value in the first column of Table_array are the values ​​searched by lookup_value These values ​​can be text, number or logical values. Uppercase and lowercase text are equivalent.

Col_index_num table_array must match the value matched with the column number. Col_index_num of 1 returns the value in the first column in the table_array; A col_index_num table of 2 gives value to the second column in the table_arrow, and so on.
