Default VLOOKUP formula displays in cell, will not return data

I had an older version of Excel (97 maybe?) and our office updated to 2007.

Now my vlookup will not return data. The vlookup formula appears in the
cell or I get the NA#. I've formatted my lookup cells and table to General
but still get the same result.

After formatting the cell as General, re-enter it (F2/Enter) - if you're
still seeing the formula, press Ctrl/~ -- you're looking at the formula layer
instead of the value layer.
