Question : Merge from Excel results in zero not text

I have a Word merge file which takes its data from columns in excel which in turn get their content generated by VLOOKUP.
The results are displayed in excel ok but there is an inconsistency -  text in Column AD in Excel appears ok in the Word merge file but text in column AG in excel appears in the merged document as a zero

Furthermore - if AD is empty (VLOOKUP is false) the merged document is blank (as it should be) but if AG is empty, a zero still appears.

 

Answer : Merge from Excel results in zero not text

Hi...i tried to do it myself...it works perfectly fine..all the data gets pasted without any problem..however if its still giving u in a error..then do a paste special values in other sheet and then paste it from there to the word..coz ur formula seems to be fine..
