<pre>The sample documents have option "Tools -> Option -> LibreOffice Calc ->
Calculate -> Enable regular expression in formulas" set. Therefore "*"
(asterisk) has ha special meaning in VLOOKUP's SearchCriterion. Hence you would
need, according to documentation [1], use =VLOOKUP("\Q" & C5 & "\E";tLook;2;0),
to disable this setting for the current call.
Alternative: Deactivate option "Tools -> Option -> LibreOffice Calc ->
Calculate -> Enable regular expression in formulas"
