VLOOKUP False Problem

[broadway05]

I have a "LOOKUP" statement (without the "false" at the end) which
doesn't always return the exact match (I guess it returns the closest
match). I need an exact match or nothing. When I add "FALSE" to the
end of the statement, Excel won't accept it. So I changed it to
"VLOOKUP" and added the "False" and I get no returns except for "N/A."
Why doesn't the false parameter work for me??

The following returns sometimes-exact responses:
=LOOKUP(D3,'Assign Reps'!C4:C502,'Assign Reps'!D4502)

The following returns "N/A:
=VLOOKUP(D3,'Assign Reps'!C4:C502,'Assign Reps'!D4502,False)

FYI, "Assign Reps" is my second page (which contains the column I'm
searching). I am writing the formula in a cell on the first page.

Help!!!!

If you are copying this down the column in your first sheet, you may
need to amend it to:

=VLOOKUP(D3,'Assign Reps'!C$4$502,2,False)

Hope this helps.
