hi guys,
I hope you can help me with this formula
Basically in the attached file we have hotel names. What I need is a formula in the yellow cells (column B). It needs to look for a key word (column D). If it finds a key word then return the value in column E.
For example, in cell A2, it contains the word "Aloft". "Aloft" is in column D, so I need it to return "Starwood" (column E).
Many Thanks

What does the 15^15 mean?
Also, is there any way i can extend the ranges $D$2:$D$4 and $E$2:$E$4 to go down futher. just so i can add to it in the future. when i extend the ranges to say row 15 then i just get a "0" value
Many thanks!

You will get all the answers about Lookup Function.
That link has no explanation of the exponential 15^15. Please remember that not all of us are mathematical wizards! Please explain why you have used 15^15 in this LOOKUP query.Originally Posted by shukla.ankur281190

In my idea, biggest number came with this exponential 15^15=4.37894E+17 and Lookup function is always look nearest biggest value in array and retrieve the results.
