Hi, i'm trying to apply =vlookup for the spreadsheet attached to look for portuguese translations into sheet1 ("original ptbr") and retrieve them into sheet2 ("match translation") but it is failing for some random values and i don't know why since the words and the translations are there.

Here is the spreadsheet:

Does anyone know how to fix this? :confused:

Thanks,
Renan

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Some of the values on the "Match" sheet have extra spaces, hence it not a match.

In I2 put
=Trim(c2)
and fill down, then change the Vlookup to look at col I

You need to fix the look up range like
=VLOOKUP(I2,'ORIGINAL PTBR'!C$2:D$1814,2,FALSE)
otherwise when you copy it down it will change to C3:D1815 for row 3 etc.
