Vlookup function returning 0 instead of the cell value.

Dear community. It is my first post so be patient with me 😜

I have a problem with VLOOKUP function.

When I am typing in: =VLOOKUP(B2,hourly_stock_pl,3,TRUE) the function returns the correct values from the third column. However, when i am typing in: =VLOOKUP(B2,hourly_stock_pl,4,TRUE) the fourth column is returning 0 instead of the correct value of 20.

I also would like to attach the excel spreadsheet for you to look at but I do not know how '-.-

    None of the part numbers in column B of the Destination sheet match any of the values in the first column of hourly_stock_pl.

    Use

    =VLOOKUP(B2,hourly_stock_pl[[p_pn]:[imStock]],2,FALSE)

    and

    =VLOOKUP(B2,hourly_stock_pl[[p_pn]:[imStock]],3,FALSE)

    Maybe you can paste your data into your post as shown in the above example.

      Thank you for the hint. I was afraid that it may not work since the sheet does not throw any errors and the formula is formed correctly. Nevertheless, I found a workaround, which is to upload the file to OneDrive and then share it with the following link: https://1drv.ms/x/s!AhoU6FwcGDdkgke1Rqgj7No-V0l-?e=TQA77X

      Thank you for the reply. Sadly, I do not see the browse function. When trying to drag and drop it does not upload. However, I found a workaround, which is to upload file to onedrive and then share it here with the link: https://1drv.ms/x/s!AhoU6FwcGDdkgke1Rqgj7No-V0l-?e=TQA77X
