I need your help!

I thought that I knew a lot about Excel, but the truth is, I can't think of one more thing to share with you. Although if you master the things covered here, you WILL be the Excel Expert in your office. You will shock and amaze your office mates, in general. But, I want to answer more questions. I can't think of anything to answer, though. Will you please ask me a question, friend?

I need help with this please.

I have two fields that I need to compare and bring back data in a third field if they match.

Basically, it's a simple VLOOKUP equation.
But, these two number fields (which are currently both formatted as text) don't always bring back the data, unless I 'retype' the data, then it recognizes that the yare the same.
Can you think of why I would need to retype the exact same data for it to recognize it?

I'm brining in the data via copy/paste, but using field format options to ensure they're both the same.
Thanks.

I am in desperate need of help. My firm has a special toolbar they use to make sure all reports we generate are formatted in a specific way. I think it must involve a lot of custom formats because now I keep getting an error message saying "Too many custom formats" whenever I try to do anything. I tried deleting some of the custom formats but that doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?
