HOW TO: "If cell contains specific text then return specific text"

Copper Contributor

What I really Want is: Depending on Which Store Name I enter into the 1st cell, I want a particular % entered into the 2nd cell.  The second Cell is already formatted to be a percent with no decimals.  

 

So if the1st Cell has "Lowes" in it.  I want the 2nd cell to end up with "15%" in it. 

And want to be able to ad additional Stores, with their perspective % as well. 

So Lowes = 15%

Leonards = 10%

amazon = 12%

In the attached file, the formula in Sheet2!B2 is: 

=VLOOKUP(A2,
StorePercent,
2,0)

Note that StorePercent is defined as: 

=Sheet1!$A$2:INDEX(Sheet1!$B:$B,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A))

You can add stores and their corresponding percent in Sheet1 without any required modification in VLOOKUP in Sheet2!B2. 

Please test it and inform me of your thoughts thereon.
