Vlookup not working

Hi,

 

I have 2 columns from 2 different tables that I know for sure matches, but when I do the lookup formula, its not working. Everything is coming over blank. Both columns are text format. I know I am dong the formula correctly and there are 100% matches. Any tips?

Hi @PowerBI123456 ,

 

Can you share some sample data and the expected result to have a clear understanding of your question?

You can save your files in OneDrive, Google Drive, or any other cloud sharing platforms and share the link here.

 

Best Regards,

Yuna

Hi @PowerBI123456 

You really have to share the data and the code you are using, we can't help otherwise.

@PowerBI123456 can you share the lookup expression you are using, you can also give an alternate value in lookup. Can you assign that value and see if it gets returns alternate value where there is no match or more than one match.
