    Return proper value from chart

    See attached sheet....

    I thought a Vlookup was the way to go here but it's not returning the value I want.

    On the "Consultant" Sheet, I want the chart to return the commission rate (from the commission level chart) based on the value of $B5*C$1. It's doing the value below...I tried to change how the commission level chart is shown but it's still not doing it right....

    On the right, I've included what I want it to return.

    Re: Return proper value from chart

    When the lookup value is smaller than the first entry in the lookup table (in this case 450*1 is less than 849), then VLOOKUP() returns N/A. I think you are wanting to shift the lookup values in your lookup table down one row:
    0 -- 20%
    850 -- 22%
    1500 -- 23%
    and so on
    I think you also want absolute references to your lookup table -- $A$3:$B$8 so that Excel keeps the correct reference when the formula is copied.
