Spreadsheet has 5 columns and four rows with data. Part Number in column A. Description in column B. Column C is empty. Column D has Part Number. And column E has revised Descriptions. I want to replace the existing Description with the revised Description.

I don't even get an error such as #N/A. I get nothing. This has worked before on the long version of this same spreadsheet with 482 line items. I've just reduced it to the four line items to simplify.

= (E6,B5:C7, 2, FALSE ) This formula uses the value of cell E6 to lookup and retrieve the right cost in the range B5:C7. How this formula works This is a basic example of VLOOKUP in 'exact match' mode. The lookup value is B6, the table is the range B5:C7, the column is 2, and the last argument, FALSE, forces VLOOKUP to do an exact match. (Read why this is necessary ). If VLOOKUP finds a matching value, the associated cost will be retrieved from the 2nd column (column C). If no match is found, VLOOKUP will return the #N/A error.
