Excel XLOOKUP returning #VALUE and can't work out error

=XLOOKUP([@[Project ID]],Table4,Table4[Project Postcode],"N/A",0,1)

I am trying to use this formula to search the Project ID reference within Table4 (on a different sheet) and to return the Project Postcode that corresponds with the Project Number. It keeps returning #VALUE and not sure which part is wrong?

I managed to fix it with just
=XLOOKUP([@[Project ID]],Table4[Project ID],Table4[Project Postcode])

Hiding a worksheet in Excel

Want to circulate an Excel workbook file but keep certain worksheets hidden from your colleagues' view?

You can do so by bringing up the sheet you wish to hide on your screen; then going to Format - Sheet - Hide.

It will not be immediately obvious that a sheet is hidden from view unless perhaps the sheet are still labelled Sheet 1, Sheet 2 etc.

To display the sheet again, you can go to Format - Sheet - Unhide on any of the other sheets in the workbook. A dialogue box will appear, allowing you to select the hidden sheet/s. Click OK to make the sheet/s reappear again.
