--- Comment #2 from Eike Rathke <[email protected]> ---
Not a bug. VLOOKUP() is defined to lookup _matching_ values. A numeric value
does not match a text value.

Also note that a leading ' apostrophe you might see in the Input Line or while
editing a cell is not part of the cell content and does not influence a lookup.
It indicates that the input could be interpreted as a number if it was entered
without the apostrophe in a cell formatted as numeric, and with apostrophe will
be entered as text content. Editing such content means it was already entered
as text.

Your sample document does not contain such scenario though, because the cell
range A1:A8 is formatted as Text, not numeric.
