Description Rajesh S Krishnaiah 2004-06-07 14:26:21 UTC 
I am trying to use the following formula in my java program:
cell.setCellFormula("VLOOKUP(A2, A1:Z2, 2, FALSE)");
The result of the above formula is #VALUE!.

But if I replace the first argument of the vlookup with an actual value instead 
of cell reference it works fine.
cell.setCellFormula("VLOOKUP(\"Test\", A1:Z2, 2, FALSE)");

Re-tested in 3.1-beta1.

This was probably fixed in bug 44675 (second part - if the parameter operand class is wrong Excel evaluates VLOOKUP to '#VALUE!')
