    1) In the formula the lookup value is entire column. Formula returns spill (an array) for which there is no place in one cell of the table, thus an error. Change on the value from current row reference.

    2) Lookup range has only two columns, and you try to return the result from row 14. Thus #REF error, since there are no so many rows in the range. Change on 2.

     

    Finally

    =HLOOKUP([@[Post-Secondary Years]],$P$13:$U$14,2,TRUE)
