Good afternoon, I found the following functions to get information from the GAL, the first one (GetAliasFromName) collects the Alias based on the user name and it works smoothly, however, the second one (GetNameFromAlias) is intended to do the opposite and Im getting the same incorrect result when I use it: 01_New Requests

I will appreciate if any of you could take a look and have some pointers, or possible solutions, thanks ahead for your help.

Code:
<code style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, "Lucida Console", "Liberation Mono", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier New", monospace, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: inherit; white-space: inherit;">[COLOR=#101094][FONT=inherit]Public[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#303336][FONT=inherit] [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#101094][FONT=inherit]Function[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#303336][FONT=inherit] GetAliasFromName[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#303336][FONT=inherit]([/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#303336][FONT=inherit]sAddressEntry [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#101094][FONT=inherit]As[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#303336][FONT=inherit] [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#101094][FONT=inherit]String[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#303336][FONT=inherit])[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#303336][FONT=inherit] [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#101094][FONT=inherit]As[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#303336][FONT=inherit] [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#101094][FONT=inherit]String[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#303336][FONT=inherit]

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Did you not ask the same question last month the request seems vaguely familiar
