I need to get a vlookup to match on case here is an example of two different IDS a#A3A00000AQkRp a#A3A00000AQkRP when I do the vlookup it returns the second value which isn't an exact match but I've tried to use the exact match features but it never seems to work with vlookup.

Hi, I need to Vlookup an ID from one worksheet and match it to a name in a second worksheet, but the name format is not the same in both worksheets. Is there a Vlookup function to help with this?

In cell I10, enter a VLOOKUP function that will convert the Satisfaction Rating to a grade found in the second column of the GradeScale named range. The formula is not looking for an exact match.

I have two lists. One is a list of part numbers. The other is a list of long text descriptions. I can use VLOOKUP with "*"&cell address"*" to find the first match. But how can I find the second and third matches? I have tried using INDEX and SHORT but the wild cards no longer find the match like they do in VLOOKUP. Can you help?
