getting #N/A when vlookup is a negative number
When I do a vlookup and the lookup value is a negative number and negative
numbers are in the lookup table I get a #N/A instead of the negative number I am looking for.

If you don't have that particular negative number in the table you will get
the error. If the number exists, should be no problem. Post your formula and a sample of your data table.

Are you looking for an exact match or a closest match? If you're
looking for an exact match, you need to include the last parameter to VLOOKUP as FALSE: =VLOOKUP(A1,B1:C20,2,FALSE) If you omit the FALSE (or use TRUE), then the lookup list data must be in ascending sorted order. If it isn't sorted, VLOOKUP won't return the result you expect.
