Vlook up isn't recognizing a couple of cells even though it's feeding off a pivot and when I check with an " if =" it comes up as being the same.
Any advice on what I need to check?
Thanks

It’s usually a formatting issue that can often be solved by using the TRIM function on the lookup value.

In this case it's pulling from a vlook up so should be identical

Is there more than one answer associated with the vlookup? That has caused issues for me before I think

Could also use =UNIQUE for that if you’re using Google Sheets or Excel 365

Might be differences in format type and only impacting a certain combination of characters. See if there's a pattern in the errors.

Sometimes using text-to-columns feature applies formatting in a more reliable way than highlighting the entire column and changing formatting.

If none are working trying index/match combo or sumif if appropriate.

Are they numerical values or text?

What’s the symbol that you can type in a cell so you can input a text, but that text would not appear in the spreadsheet? I want to describe the formula without using a text box, which uses more space.

The equivalent of this is in SQL, you can use the apostrophe in the beginning of and end of a text. That text will not affect the function of the query, but that text can be seen if you proofread the query.
