I am working on refreshing my memory of Excel, as I have been using Libre for a few years now. I am working on sample data that has a Discount level. I did some Pivot Tables and decided that I wanted the Discounts to be in order (low to high, not alpha), so I added a Discount Level column and loaded a vlookup formula / chart :
Discount Band | Discount Level |
High | 3-High |
Medium | 2-Medium |
Low | 1-Low |
None | 0-None |
Formula: =+VLOOKUP(E470,VLUPTables!$A$2:$B$5,2)
I went back and everything works but Low. I have looked for extra spaces - beginning and end. I have checked for 0 vs o, I have retyped Low. I have copied Low from the table itself. I have tried using '1-Low. I thought it would be a row array - but 0-None works! I must be missing something, but I am at a loss. I have even deleted and reloaded everything with the same results. Any help is appreciated.

Solution@ChReed It seems likely that you want an exact match of your lookup value, so you should change your formula to this:
=VLOOKUP(E470,VLUPTables!$A$2:$B$5,2,FALSE)
FALSE at the end means that it needs to find an exact match. Without that, you would need to sort your data in ascending order.
