Vlookup as "Column Formula" is not working properly
Hello! I was hoping someone can please point me in the right direction on this one. I created a Vlookup that will compare an ID number on a sheet that users will fill out via form, and return the due date listed on a different spreadsheet.
The formula I created worked on the first row. =VLOOKUP([Context ID]@row, {Due Date}, 3)
However, when I converted it to a column formula, I am receiving a "No Match" error message in all but the first column.
This is the page I am trying to fill in the Due Date field from a second sheet
I double checked that the Context IDs listed on the form page were on the Due Date data sheet and they are.
I've tried converting it back to a row formula, deleting the column and creating a new formula etc. I just can't figure out why it only works with some of the rows. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Ashley

Hi @asimcock
I hope you're well and safe!
Try something like this.
=VLOOKUP([Context ID]@row, {Due Date}, 3,0)
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
