Why Is The Vlookup Returning #N/A When Value Exists?

[irenemehraj]

Thank you so much for teaching how to check cell references are a match. I spent a whole day trying to figure out why my vlookup was not working until I watched your video. And as soon I applied your check method I knew where the error was - a space that I couldn’t spot!!
Thank you.

This was great!
Another tip - if you are getting some text values in a column correct and then suddenly interrupted by #N/A and then again further values are again correct and you are 100% sure that the value in the look up table exists and has a correct format, just sort the look up column values from A-Z.

BRILLIANT! Thanks a lot. I knew it was cell formatting, but didn't know how to fix it. Sigh of relief.. Thanks again.

The Date > Text to Columns > Text did the trick! Thanks!

This video didn't help my specific problem but the solution to the problem I had was that my table array's left most column wasn't the same as my reference value. Hope this helps someone

I have used vlookup and has worked beautifully, until today doing another project and IT'S not working. It's so weird and absurd the mess. I have a list of cities and counties. Example: Cerritos belongs to LA, column A is Cerritos, column B is Los Angeles the list has 500 cities and counties they belong to and i named the sheet as CitiesCounties, and I have another sheet where I pLace the vlookup example: =xvlookup(L1, CitiesCounties!A2:B500, 2, FALSE). So the T1 is where there are the cities, and on the column S I put the formula. So it works partially. It's so weird where there is city Anaheim, it put Orange, but then there are other rows that has Anaheim and the vlookup shows the #N/A. It puzzles me. I even trim/clean the whole column is case there are some stuff there. I don't know why it's not working. I don't what's wrong. If I use the xlookup(new version) would I still have problem?
