VBA code for Vlookup exact match (false) should work?

Question

My code works when I use True on the last argument. The problem is that it must be an exact match, otherwise the code brings me the incorrect values. However, when I change the last argument to False I get the error 1004

Unable to get vlookup property of the WorksheetFunction class

Here is my code:

Range("AW" & i) = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(Sheet2.Range("B" & i), Sheet3.Range(Sheet3.Range("A1"), Sheet3.Range("B" & lastrow)), 2, False)

I just want to make this vlookup give me the correct values. Therefore, I need to make the exact match argument work.

Answer 1

You need to do something like this ...

Range("AW" & i) = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(Sheet2.Range("B" & i), Sheet3.Range("A1:B" & lastrow), 2, False)

... you need to wrap the single range in the second parameter. It's not 100% tested but I mocked something up locally working on a single sheet that worked.

You could also do something like this using INDEX and MATCH ...

Range("AW" & i) = WorksheetFunction.Index(Sheet3.Range("A1:B" & lastrow), WorksheetFunction.Match(Sheet2.Range("B" & i), Sheet3.Range("A1:B" & lastrow)))

If you have the potential for items not finding a match, you'll need to perform the appropriate error checking.
