Use the correct mix of Absolute and Relative references in your VLOOKUP
formulas.
To absolutely fix the table range.....$A$1:$C$50
To absolutely fix the lookup value.....$D$1
Usually the lookup value cell is relative......D1 so it will change.
=VLOOKUP(D1,$A$1:$C$50,2,0) will change to =VLOOKUP(D2,$A$1:$C$50,2,0)
as you copy down.
If I have misread your needs, post back and we can try again.

I am trying to create a new range that returns data from columns of an

may have used it incorrectly as I changed the seach parameters in each
descending cell in the column. Which function/formula do I use to return
lookup data without creating a list filled with blank cells?
