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

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).
