#REF! and #N/A Error while using Vlookup to fetch value
Hey, Facing Ref error while fetching value. Source sheet is AR-216 and Main sheet where I want the value to go in is Sheet1. 1. I am able to get the rows with #ref! error but not with exact value....

In the formula =VLOOKUP(B50,'AR-216'!$D$6:$E$16,3,0), the lookup range D6:E16 has only 2 columns, but you refer to the 3rd column.
You should either expand the range to include more columns, or change the third argument from 3 to 2, depending on which information you want to return.
You can refer to another workbook:
=VLOOKUP(B50,'[Consumption 2020 April - December.xlsx]AR-216'!$D$6:$E$16,2,0)
Create this formula while the other workbook is open. Then close that other workbook. Excel will automatically add the path of the workbook.
