--- Comment #2 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
This is not a bug.

As explained in VLOOKUP documentation [1], the function supports regular
expressions if enabled in the spreadsheet options. Your spreadsheet does enable
regular expressions.

Your strings include parentheses; and parentheses have special meaning in
regular expressions (which your B3 is considered to be by VLOOKUP). So
searching for regular expression "PORTAALI_SME_FI_101 (N2003361)" means
searching for text "PORTAALI_SME_FI_101 N2003361" (note no parentheses), and
using the last part as a group (e.g., for purposes of backreferencing it). The
text in that form indeed does not exist in the search range.

Either disable regular expressions, or use workarounds mentioned in the help
article, that allow to disable treating characters as special regex
expressions.
