Good morning everyone,

I'm struggling with a vlookup today and I can't understand why it isn't working!

I have two tabs the first tab looks like this:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]A
[/TD]
[TD]B
[/TD]
[TD]C
[/TD]
[TD]D
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]01/01/2017
[/TD]
[TD]02/01/2017
[/TD]
[TD]03/01/2017
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]From
[/TD]
[TD]=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,'journey details'!$D$2:$D$4,3),"")
[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]To
[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


The second tab, "journey details" looks like this:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]A
[/TD]
[TD]B
[/TD]
[TD]C
[/TD]
[TD]D
[/TD]
[TD]E
[/TD]
[TD]F
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Ref
[/TD]
[TD]Surname
[/TD]
[TD]First Name
[/TD]
[TD]Date
[/TD]
[TD]Reg
[/TD]
[TD]From
[/TD]

[/TD]
[TD]Home
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


I'm trying to match the dates on the first tab with the second but return the results from column F of the second tab. Any ideas why I'm not getting anything? I'm currently using the formula =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,'journey details'!$D$2:$D$4,3),"") in the first tab.

Any help would be very much appreciated!! Thanks everyone!
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Hi,

a first answer: maybe you have to extend the reference range

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,'journey details'!$D$2:$F$10,3),"")

Regards
