CarmenV From what you describe, I believe you need to look at the 2nd column and use FALSE.
Carmen,
For the vlookup function, the lookup value in your lookup data, should be in the first colmn. In your situation the lookup value is in column 2.
If you change the list of trucks to truck plate in column 1 and company name in 2, you can return colmn 2 as name. You should use flase to get only exact maches.
If you cannot change the lookup table you could try xlookup or, in case you have an older version of Excel, you can used Index Match function.
