hi!

what's wrong with the formula which throws #value error?

the formula is in Sheet1

C1; =VLOOKUP(OR(RIGHT(A1,6),MID(A1,6,6)),sheet2!$A$1:$C$8,3,FALSE)

the contents of A1:B9 in sheet1 is

01000055001>>>>>10775159011
01000060003>>>>>10775159022
01000060004>>>>>10775159033
01000060007>>>>>10775159044
01000060011>>>>>10775159055
0100006001600>>>10775159066
0100006002000>>>10775159077
0100006002001>>>10775159088
0100006001602>>>10775159099

the contents of A1:C8 in sheet2 is

055001>>john>>> 80620840697
