I'm Matching two files based on last name. I've made sure the last names in
each file are properly formatted (proper function - first letter capped) and
the last names in each file are sorted ascending and located in column A.
When I look at the two files I see obvious matches just by glancing through
it, but the V lookups are showing none.

I've done hundreds of these things............could someone please tell me
whats wrong

thanks
 
Look for blank characters padded at the end of the name... "Smith" and "Smith
" are not the same thing and a Vlookup will return nothing...
