Hi,

[ is a special character.
If you want to use VLOOKUP with cells containing special characters :

1. If you don't need to use them in other formulae in the same file :
Turn of "enable regular expressions in formulas" in the menu Tools > Options >
LO Calc > Calculate.

2. If you used them in other cells :
Place the escape character \ (backslash) before with the SUBSTITUTE function.
=VLOOKUP(SUBSTITUTE(C6;"[";"\[");C4:D9;2;0)

The special characters are . ^ $ * + ? \ [ ( { |
