    Retrieving value from list based on dynamic condition

    Help

    I need to retrieve a value from a list based on a dynamic condition. For example:

    1. Let's say that cell F10 will be populated by a dynamic # between 1 - 80.
    2. Based on that #, a formula in cell F11 will need to retrieve from a list the corresponding description associated with the dynamic # in F10.

    dynamic cell F10 - 3
    results in cell F11 - Visual Contact

    List -

    Cell H10 = 1 and cell I10 = Volume
    Cell H11 = 2 and cell I11 = Posture
    Cell H12 = 3 and cell I12 = Visual Contact
    and so on...

    Please help. Thanks.

    One way - use VLOOKUP
    In F11:
    =IF(F10="","",VLOOKUP(F10,$H$10:$I$100,2,0))
    Adjust the table array to suit: $H$10:$I$100
