Good morning Brian and all:
I did this in my workbook:
Sheet 1 Sheet2
1st Matrix 2nd Matrix VlookUp
Result
Name Name
Formula
0 A.D. 0 A.D. Empires Ascendant =BUSCARV(A2;Hoja1.A3:A6;1;1)
0 A.D.
2HFU 3D Chess
=BUSCARV(A3;Hoja1.A3:A6;1;1) 2HFU
3D chess Abe
=BUSCARV(A4;Hoja1.A3:A6;1;1) 3D chess
In the first case I tried to find "0 A.D. Empires Ascendant" from 2nd
Matrix - sheet 2- in the 1st Matrix -sheet 1- and found "0 A.D." ... it
was good !
But in the second case I tried to find "3D Chess" that is the third
element in the first Matrix-Sheet 1- and the found result is "2HFU" ...
it isn't good and confused me.
In the last case I tried to find "Abe" and found "3D chess" more confuse
to me.
As I can see the VlookUp find always the element that continue in order
in the list of the 1st Matrix not the name that I'm finding.
And if I used "=BUSCARV(An;Hoja1.A3:A6;1;0)" with zero at end, the tree
results are "#N/D" ("An" is for not to repeat tree times the formula)
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or there is a bug
Some time ago, VlookUp was using only to search exactly element (Only
equal) now it has so strange behaivor (At least to me)
Regards,
Jorge Rodríguez
