VLOOKUP and COUNTIF will not find a numeric search value in a list of text cells. They will, however, find a text value in a list of numeric cells. Why one way but not the other?

Hi Warren, Most attachments don't make it through to the list. I can take a guess that you need to add a fourth parameter to your vlookup function. This one tells the function that the list is not sorted. The default is a sorted list. = vlookup(a1;b5:c55;2,false) If this is not the problem,

It seems, finally, that the problem may arise from numbers entered as text in the looked up range, rather than empty cells. Otherwise, vlookup would return a numerical value if the cell looked up contained a zero. So, value/vlookup is the easiest answer. That, of course, returns an error if
