What is the error in the formula of cell A5 of the attached file? I am using the vlookup formula to return the corresponding text of the cell value B5.

@ajl_ahmed 

=VLOOKUP(B5,CHOOSE({1,2},B7:B76,A7:A76),2,FALSE)

You can try this formula. Enter the formula with ctrl+shift+enter if you don't work with Office365 or 2021. An alternative would be INDEX and MATCH.

@ajl_ahmed If you really do have Excel for O365, you should use XLOOKUP.

=XLOOKUP(B5,B7:B76,A7:A76)

One more variant

=IFERROR( INDEX(  A7:A76, MATCH( B5, B7:B76, 0 )), "no such" )

VLOOKUP() always works from left to right, XLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH are more flexible.
