Im sorry this is a very basic question but for some reason it's just eluding me.
I'm trying to do a VLOOKUP in a table and I keep getting an error when trying to look up a string value.
I have created the problem on google drive to help illustrate what i mean https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L70yQeWmr0J08UwK3nkSQaLNVFzfI1zi8euzhoYq8XY/edit?usp=sharing
regards
The VLOOKUP function is intended to return a value that is to the right of the look up value. To reverse this, use a INDEX/MATCH function pair.
=index(A:A, match("Danton", B:B, 0))
btw, if you use TRUE (or omit) in the range_lookup parameter, the lookup column needs to be sorted.
