VLOOKUP true and false

Hi all,
I have a problem with a formula that I am using. I'm trying to retrieve a value using VLOOKUP. I have around 2800 entries within the lookup table and retrieving the second column. When it returns the value most of the data is correct but others bring back #NO MATCH. When I change the match type to false I am able to retrieve the values for the cells that previously said #NO MATCH but the others change to #NO MATCH.
I have also noticed the #NO MATCH entries all start with a number???
Any ideas on how to get this working?
Formula
=VLOOKUP([Final Product]@row, {BOM Range 2}, 2)

Try an INDEX/MATCH instead.
=INDEX({Column To Pull From}, MATCH([Final Product]@row, {Column To Match On}, 0))
