Hi i am using a vlookup and getting #Na errors but for example the value is 51290 and it exists in both areas so should not get a NA error. when i make it '51290 it then finds it and works, is there a faster way in doing this so i dont get the na error?
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
How about something like VLOOKUP(A2&"",...

That did not work, is the lookup value is on the left side of the cell and then the value in the table array is on the right side of the cell, but when i put a ' in front of the value in the table array the value appears
but i have multiple values that like this that i would have to put a ' in front of them

In that case you would be better off getting your data sorted, so that it is all text, or all numbers but not a mix.
