VLOOKUP with other sheet
Hi. When I use the following VLOOKUP on the same sheet as the range "staff" it works fine.
It doesn't, however, work on a different sheet
=VLOOKUP(A5,staff,6,0)

Agree with AngelIII, works OK for me - you shouldn't need to refer to the sheet for a named range, is the lookup value the same, where is A5?

Here is the file. I am trying to do a VLOOKUP on the sheet "Template" that references the Sheet Data1
Scheduler.xls
Scheduler.xls
This formula works for me
=VLOOKUP(A5,staff,4,0)
.....but the names need to match - you have "Anthony" on one sheet (with an "h") and "Antony" (without "h") on the other

>Also I think the names need to be in order to get correct results
No, that's not correct - VLOOKUP with a 4th argument of FALSE or zero will give you an exact match only - the lookup range doesn't need to be sorted (that only applies when 4th argument of VLOOKUP is TRUE or 1)
The formula used should work OK on the data given, as long as the lookup value finds a match

and with "other sheet" you mean really just another sheet in the same workbook?
can you upload the file (or a sample where you reproduce the issue)?
