We have a workbook which has name in column b we have another sheet with same
names but column 1 has id# we would like to have those codes whatever we
tried does not work no idea why
here is our codes we tried
=VLOOKUP(B1,[Book4.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1:$C$890,1,TRUE)
when we drag sometimes we get "MemberID" in the cell which is data from cell
"a1" all other data is #N/A
