VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP Won’t Match? Do These 3 Things

Stop VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP #N/A errors in 60 seconds!

You can see the key in both places but your lookup still fails?

I know how you feel!

This 7-page, copy-paste PDF gives you the exact 3 steps to make VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP hit every time:

• Clean hidden junk (NBSPs, line breaks, weird dashes)
• Standardize types on both sides (text vs number, dates, IDs w/ leading zeros)
• Lookup with a robust XLOOKUP template (and safe fallbacks)

What you’ll get (7 pages)

1. 30-second diagnosis – 4 quick checks that expose why it’s failing
2. The 3-step fix – Clean → Standardize → Lookup (with tiny visuals)
3. Copy-paste snippets – “Super cleaner”, number↔text coercers, date locale fix
4. Worked examples – Lost zeros in CSVs, non-breaking spaces, MDY/DMY dates
5. QA checklist – Equality/TYPE/LEN tests to prove matches before you ship
6. Exit plan – future-proofing

Who it’s for

Analysts (FP&A, accounting, ops), Excel learners, and anyone stuck with “It’s right there but still shows #N/A.”

Requirements

Excel 2019/2021/365 recommended (works with XLOOKUP; VLOOKUP fallback included).
