I have an Excel workbook called “VlookupPracticeExamples.xlsx.” The VLOOKUP formulas that are already in place appear to be returning the wrong values, even though they do not produce a #N/A message. I need someone to open the file, diagnose exactly why the lookups are pulling incorrect results, and then correct every affected formula so the returned values match the underlying data. Please keep your approach transparent: highlight any range issues, column-index mistakes, or lookup-type mismatches you uncover, and then replace or adjust the formulas accordingly. A short note inside the sheet (or a separate tab) explaining each fix will help me follow your logic later. To apply, send over a brief example of past work where you successfully traced and resolved VLOOKUP or similar lookup problems in Excel. That proof of experience will be the main factor in my selection. Deliverable: • The updated workbook with all VLOOKUPs returning correct values, plus a concise explanation of the fixes applied.

I have experience working with Excel formulas, including VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, IF, SUMIFS, PivotTables, and data validation.

All VLOOKUP formulas debugged, incorrect values fixed, and a clear explanation of each fix documented in the sheet. I'm Puneet, a Chartered Accountant with strong Excel skills including extensive VLOOKUP troubleshooting. I've identified and corrected lookup errors caused by range mismatches, incorrect column indices, wrong lookup-type settings (TRUE vs FALSE), and absolute/relative reference confusion. How I'll approach this: - Open the file and trace each VLOOKUP formula to identify exactly why it's returning incorrect values - Check for common culprits: wrong range references, misaligned column indices, TRUE/FALSE mismatch with data structure - Diagnose whether the issue is in the lookup array, the column position, or the match type - Correct every affected formula and verify the returned values match the underlying data - Document each fix in a notes tab or comment within the sheet so you can follow my logic Transparency throughout: you'll see exactly what was wrong and why I fixed it. I've resolved similar lookup problems in past work where formulas appeared to work but pulled wrong data due to subtle range or index issues. What's the approximate number of VLOOKUP formulas in the file, and are the lookup arrays on separate sheets or within the same sheet? Puneet Kumar, CA

Hi, I can quickly diagnose and fix the incorrect VLOOKUP results in your workbook. When VLOOKUP returns the wrong value without showing #N/A, the issue is often caused by an approximate match (TRUE), an incorrect table range, wrong column index, hidden spaces, unsorted lookup data, or mixed data types. I’ll systematically review every affected formula, identify the exact cause, and update the formulas so they return the correct values. Along with the corrected workbook, I’ll include a separate “Fix Summary” sheet explaining each issue I found (range references, column index corrections, lookup-type changes, data type mismatches, etc.) so you can easily understand what was changed. Relevant experience: I’ve resolved numerous Excel lookup issues involving VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, and Power Query while building automated business dashboards, financial reports, bank statement reconciliation tools, and client management workbooks. I regularly troubleshoot incorrect lookup results caused by formula logic, inconsistent data formats, and reference errors. I’m available to start immediately and will deliver a fully tested workbook with all lookups verified for accuracy. Looking forward to working with you!

As an experienced data professional with a strong background in Excel, your VLOOKUP issue is right up my alley. Over the course of my 5 years working in data collection at assessment centers, I've honed my skills in not only collecting and analyzing data, but also developing thorough and detailed solutions to problems just like yours. Excel could be extremely powerful when used skillfully, but it can also be quite troublesome if there are issues within the formulas. In your case, I suspect range issues, column-index mistakes, or even lookup-type mismatches might be to blame for the incorrect results. Fortunately, these are problems I'm highly adept at tracing and resolving - I believe my track record speaks for itself. When faced with similar challenges in the past, I not only fixed the formulas but also provided detailed explanations of what was wrong and how I fixed it so that others could understand it better. You can expect no less from me for your project as well. My solution-oriented approach and attention to detail will ensure all VLOOKUPs return the correct values again in your workbook. With me on board, you'll not only get an error-free workbook but also a deep understanding of what caused the issue in the first place and how it was resolved.
