vlookup na
is anyone able to point out why my lookup isnt working?
I have made sure format for all referenced cells is the same, tried with false and true arguments for exact and approximate matches and tried to reference column 1 and then column 5 in the table array

Thank you both for your replies, my initial formula and intention was this:
The intention being looking up the MAX amplitude value and returning the angle.
I think this does not work because the column to return the value must be to the right of the column i am looking up? - if this is the case it seems a bit non-functional but it is workable.
I have used this theory and the previous suggestion of changing the table array and returning column 2 to solve.
Many thanks again,
143.031 is the maximum value in J36:J52, so that should be the first column in the lookup range:
=VLOOKUP(N55, J36:K52, 2, FALSE)
dumdiddydumdum Your formula tells VLOOKUP to look in the first column of the array for a match and return the value of the fifth column. With the set-up in your schedule you could change the lookup array to J36:K2, set the column number to 2 and use FALSE if it is the angle you want to return of course.
