Case specific LOOKUP alternative

[Guest]

Is there an alternative to the V/H LOOKUP worksheet functions which is case
specific?

If not can anyone suggest a way to have a case specific alternative comment?

for example I am trying to create an ASCII lookup table with two columns.
The characters in column A and the ascii number in column B so that I can use
a VLOOKUP in another sheet. However I need to be able to distinguish
between, for example 'f' and 'F'.

Thanks in advance

Do you need to use lookup- would not the CODE function return the value you
want?

Say the character to be searched is in D1:

=SUMPRODUCT(--EXACT(A1:A256;D1);B1:B256)

HTH

It may, in this case, but I have another situation where I need the case
sensitive LOOKUP where the CODE function definately will not work.

Thanks for your help though - At least I can move forward on one of my
tasks!

Typo (my Excel is french!)
=SUMPRODUCT(--EXACT(A1:A256;D1),B1:B256)
