title: Vlookup of text values
body: <p>I wanted to know if there was a way to use a vlookup on text values. Normally, I have been converting my text values to a number and then doing a vlookup, but this can be time consuming. For example, if i have a column of numbers (formatted as text) like 100-4333-239 I have been removing the "-" and converting to a number and then doing a vlookup. Is there a way to look up text without all the converting?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
