Vlookup returns #NA

  Asked By: Bertha    Date: Nov 06    Category: MS Office    Views: 943
  

I have a problem with Vlookup. The formula is returning an #NA.
I know the value which is a string contained in the array but I can no
get the expected result.
If i use the formula =MATCH(D3,'Server to Cluster'!$B$1:$B$80,0)
The relative position returned is 11 as expected. However when I use
=VLOOKUP(D3,'Server to Cluster'!$A$1:$B$80,1,FALSE) I get #NA.

I need the cluster number in cell A11.

Sheet 1
In D3 is a hostname
The formula is in column E

Sheet 2 is Server to Cluster
Column A contains the cluster number that I need
Column B contains the server numbers to match.

The value you are using for the lookup has to be the leftmost column of the
lookup range. In other words, the server  numbers have to be in a column to the
left of the cluster numbers. You could insert a new column A and copy the server
number column to it. Or, you could copy the cluster number column to column C
and do the VLookups against columns B:C.

I feel so stupid that worked. It is a shame that I spent hours
looking at this trying to figure it out.
