I am trying to do a VLookup from one worksheet to another. When I Filter the
source worksheet and use the Vlookup function it reads both the filtered and
non-filtered cells. Instead of returning only the visible cells, it returns
values associated with both visible and hidden cells. How do I tell it to
give me only the Filtered values?

Not sure that's possible. I'd keep it cleaner by dynamically extracting the
filtered results into a new sheet, then point the vlookup to read that sheet.
If you're interested in that route, there's a simple, fast non-array play
illustrated in this recent sample (my response to another poster) which might
appeal to you:

Can you post some sample and tell us what you're wanting to lookup and what
result you expect?
