Hi,
Given a large number of books to label and sort in a small library. Authors and titles are in an Excel2010 workbook under win7 OS. Strings are grouped in alphabetical categories (Ygroup table). Using VLOOKUP function, the authors are assigned id#s as per the Ygroup table categories.
For some reason some of the authors would not fall where they should (id# marked with red). It appears space and dash are ignored in VLOOKUP.
Any idea how to solve these anomalies?
Thanks.
