I trying to use vlookup for the first time.
I have a workbook with 2 sheets.
Sheet 1 will have the vlookup for sheet 2.
I'm trying to input a customer number on sheet 1 to lookup the customer name on sheet 2 and place it on sheet 1.
Here is the formula I've entered: =VLOOKUP(C5,Sheet2!$A$2:$D$3100,2,FALSE)
I've copied this formula done about 25 cells on sheet 1.
Most if the cells have numbers that are being looked up and some are letters. The ones with letters lookup fine. The numbers are having problems. I've tries to change the format for the cells to be General, Text, Numbers with no change.
The problem is that only the first 2 rows in the data sheet 2 will produce a right answer The rest show N/A.
Any suggestions?

Thanks. That helped.
I think there's something wrong with my data file format on the numbers. Some of them will not display when entered and others still will.
Example: the following data cells work - 1, 10
The following data cells don't work - 100, 1000
not sure if they are formatted funny.
