Geoff1951 That is exactly what I'm trying to do. I seemed to have resolved the problem but I still don't understand why. The lookup column contains a list of account numbers starting with 1.00 in cell A3 and ending with 10.90 in A140. I enter a number in that range in cell B3 (formula in C3 to C199) and it does nothing. Nada... no error message. But, if I copy and paste the formula from any of the following cells it works immediately. If I clear B3 and enter another number it does not work again.... until I copy and past the formula.
Strange...... I changed the first value of the lookup column to 0.00 and now it works.
