[Solved] Err:508 from VLOOKUP

Post by RickMcc »

Hi there,

I'm new to OpenOffice and this the first time using VLOOKUP
I am receiving Err 508 message
My formula is =vlookup(B6,Sheet3,A2:B103,2,0)

Attached is the character sheet for a game I am working on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Rick

Read section 9. Using functions and cell ranges in Ten concepts that every Calc user should know.

That is not a valid formula for OpenOffice Calc. Perhaps you want =VLOOKUP(B6;$Sheet3.$A$2:$B$103;2;0) (note use of period, dollar sign, and semicolon).
