I could not find your formula in the workbook. So I'm guessing it would have been in sheet Summary cell I4.

In your case the formula should be:

Hi,
It seems to be some issues with new Dynamic Arrays and Excel Tables.
You can fix that by converting the table qryfundraiser__2 in the Summary sheet to a normal range!
Or use a single value in lookup_value in VLOOKUP instead of the whole column as follows:
=VLOOKUP(H4,DonationTable,2,0)
