    Look up formula

    Would someone please be able to look at my sample data and tell me why 'N' when selected returns the wrong value of 3, in reference to the look up formula

    Many thanks

    The LOOKUP() formula you have requires that A7:A10 be listed in alphabetic order to work...

    If you don't want to, then use Vlookup(), e.g. =VLOOKUP(A3,A7:B10,2,FALSE) where FALSE tells it to look for exact match.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
