Vlookup formula
Hello Community,
When I am trying to enter a Vlook up formula as follows =vlookup(cell, and trying to enter the array I am getting the following error message as per attached.
No matter what spreadsheet I am using or different excel extension file (xls, xlxs..), as soon as I want to select an array this error message pops us like Excel is telling me "that if you don't want a formula" but I do want a formula. Since it is the first time that this happens, has anybody already had the same issue?
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Alex.

AlexRabiller42 Do you use comma as decimal separator? If so, use semi-colon between the arguments of a function:
=VLOOKUP(A39; ...
- AlexRabiller42Copper ContributorHansVogelaar Yes you are right, I am actually using a French language on the qwerty keyboard and I didn't realise I had to use a coma instead of a semi-colon between the arguments.
Thanks a lot for your quick revert on the matter.- AlexRabiller42Copper Contributor*I meant had to use a semi-colon instead of a coma 🙂
