Hi
I have name, dept, and salary in workbook1 and name, and phone # in workbook2. I used vlookup function to find phone number and put it in workbook1. Everything worked fine. I deleted workbook2 and to my surprised the vlookup function still returning the right phone number? Why is that? did it cache it somewhere? I thought I will lose phone numbers when I delete workbook2!. Thank you so much.
