Well, you have to use:
VLOOKUP(_search_ ; _range_ ; _column_number_ ; FALSE) to perform an exact 
search.

A result is returned then,
 ONLY IF _search_ is found within the first column of _range_ ,
ELSE
 #N/A is returned!

I believe this is mostly non-intuitive, but this is how Excel did it, and
somehow "everyone" wants to do it the same.

IF you use the 4th parameter and set it to 'FALSE', then the _search_ has to
match exactly the corresponding value inside _range_ (so the _space_-mismatches
that are present inside your file will cause errors even with this approach).

Hope this helps.
