VLOOKUP problem (N/V)

[Mortir]

I have 2 sheets. In one i make calculations in other i have data
(DataSheet)

Id like to extract exact data from my data sheet. I have unique
identifiers in both sheets for the same items, so I tried to extract
data using vlookup:

=VLOOKUP(R3;'DataSheet'!1:22;7;FALSE)

in cell R3 is the unique id. (for example: ES0313860159) - and exactly
the same ID is in the 'DataSheet'

but then instead of getting the value from column 7 in DataSheet which
i was looking for i get the result N/V

whats wrong?

Maybe the value on one or other sheets has leading or trailing spaces.

Check them both out using =LEN(cell)

checked - there are no spaces

Your table range is set up for rows 1:22 - you probably need to set
this for columns A:V, or change the VLOOKUP to HLOOKUP.

Hope this helps.

no still not working. i tried EXACT on both IDs and it returns TRUE,
so the to IDs must be the same... i just dont get it. I also tried
MATCH, which also returns N/V... is there a problem with the ID being
to long to work or what else could be the problem...

guys forget it. I made the mistake - i forgot that the lookup value
should be in the FIRST column of the array (banging the head against
the wall!!!)

10x for your help!
