When VLOOKUP is not working because of numbers stored as text

If you want to store data with leading zero (Format cell-> Special) - you will have problems with LOOKUP formulas because of "The number in this cell is formatted as text or preceded by an apostrophe". The simplest solution is to multiply search range with 1.

Example:
=VLOOKUP($A$2:$A$718*1;Sheet2!$A$3:$B$725;2;FALSE)

Create symbolic link from remote to local folder

To create  symbolic link to remote folder:

C:\Windows\system32>mklink /d "D:\DATA\IT\ISO" "\\SERVER_NAME\ISO"

To check does link already exists

if exist "D:\DATA\IT\ISO" (
goto next
)else (
ECHO Creating Symlcnc...
mklink /d "D:\DATA\IT\ISO" "\\SERVER_NAME\ISO"
)
:NEXT
PAUSE

When access a symbolic link on a file server, sometimes you may see the following error:
"The symbolic link cannot be followed because its type is disabled". This is because by default remote to remote symbolic links are disabled.

You can enable it with fsutil.

C:\Windows\system32>fsutil behavior query SymlinkEvaluation - check status
C:\Windows\system32>fsutil behavior set SymlinkEvaluation R2R:1 - enable from Remote to remote
