I am using LOOKUP in Excel, but it cannot recognize the format of the 'lookup
value' cell which is a 5-digi ZIP code. The data in that cell is imported
from another application, and I cannot determine how it is formatted. As a
result, Lookup returns an 'n/a'.
Everything works fine if I delete the cell contents and enter the same value
manually. I have tried reformatting the cell, moving the data from 'aligned
left' to 'aligned right' with no success. I have also tried setting up an
adjoining column which is the original column multiplied by one, and that
doesn't work.
Maybe if I could see how the cell is formatted, that could give me a lead ...
Any ideas?
Thanks.
