    Age Bracket (D9) ===> =INDEX($A$2:$A$5,MATCH(B9,$B$2:$B$5))

    Can you work out the other columns from that?

    Hope this helps.

    Re: Age Bracket using Lookup formula?

    Here's my version. I've made the assumption that if Column C states a car park is not needed then the fee for parking will not be charged... I might be wrong in that assumption though.

    Only thing that may raise an issue is if you needed to do this actually using LOOKUP rather than anything else.

    This thread sounds like a school assignment or homework. Search the FAQ for Homework to see what the Forum's stance is on that.

    Re: Age Bracket using Lookup formula?

    Now completed using VLOOKUP. Because you cannot automatically look LEFT in a VLOOKUP I've combined it with CHOOSE in order to look up the age bracket. It's scruffy but works. I much prefer the INDEX/MATCH approach.

    Also provided an alternative solution to Task 1.
