This is the result of the other one - maybe i did something wrong?
Yep! 
Looks like you've anchored the formula to the value in $M$5 so it's using 130 as the number to lookup resulting in 15000 budget in the Milwaukee district. I would recommend copying the exact formula I posted as using the wildcard is also going to be a little more reliable:
=HLOOKUP($M5,INDEX($C:$C,MATCH($L5&"*",$A:$A,0)):INDEX($H:$H,MATCH($L5&"*",$A:$A,0)+1),2,TRUE)
