Copying Data From SQL

M

Ming The Merciless

When I copy a range of data from SQL and paste it into
Excel, the data doesn't appear to be available for
formulas - in this case a VLOOKUP formula. However, once
I click in the formula bar (as if to edit the data) then
hit "return" the data is "magically" available for the
VLOOKUP formula. It seems to me to be a format problem,
but changing the format of the data doesn't help. Could
this be related to similar issues when copying data from
Access into Excel? Are there any workarounds?
