I moved a Reference sheet...Formula

Hello, I moved a reference sheet. I updated the new reference sheet in my formula but it doesn't update.

I updated the "reference sheet" then since it wasn't updating I rewrote the formula. Still the same: I get the message: #incorrect Argument.

Below is the formula:

=VLOOKUP([Last Name]@row, {Employee Database Range 4}, 5, false)

Thank you!

    Make sure your range is covering at least 5 columns.


    I also suggest looking into an INDEX/MATCH combo as it is MUCH more flexible and provides much better scaling than VLOOKUP.

    =INDEX({Column To Pull From}, MATCH([Last Name]@row, {Last Name Column}, 0))
