In the first case I tried to find "0 A.D. Empires Ascendant" from 2nd
Matrix - sheet 2- in the 1st Matrix -sheet 1- and found "0 A.D." ... it
was good !
But in the second case I tried to find "3D Chess" that is the third
element in the first Matrix-Sheet 1- and the found result is "2HFU" ...
it isn't good and confused me.
In the last case I tried to find "Abe" and found "3D chess" more confuse
to me.
As I can see the VlookUp find always the element that continue in order
in the list of the 1st Matrix not the name that I'm finding.
And if I used "=BUSCARV(An;Hoja1.A3:A6;1;0)" with zero at end, the tree
results are "#N/D" ("An" is for not to repeat tree times the formula)
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or there is a bug
Some time ago, VlookUp was using only to search exactly element (Only
equal) now it has so strange behaivor (At least to me)

Thank you for your support, ...
No probs!
I just order both matrix alphabetically and I
tried to use VlookUp but it gave me a several false-positive as you told me.
If you get false matches from a simple VLOOKUP(),
it is possible that you have not set the fourth
parameter correctly. If, as here, there may not
be a match, you need to set the SortOrder
parameter to FALSE or zero, irrespective of whether the list is sorted.
I trust this helps.
