Default Why does Excel say this formula contains an error?


I must be making a very moronic mistake here. ;)
Please tell me how the final formula listed contains an error.

If the following simple formula returns *W*
=P12

And the following *-LOOKUP-* formula -also- returns *W*
*=VLOOKUP(C53,Schedule_1,14)* <<(since this formula
-points- to cell p12)

And -*THIS*- formula works:
*=CONCATENATE(COUNTIF(P12,"W"),"-",COUNTIF(P12,"L"))*
<<(returning *1-0*)

Then why does Excel tell me that -*THIS*- formula contains an error?::

*=CONCATENATE(COUNTIF((VLOOKUP(C53,Schedule_1,14)) ,"W"),"-",COUNTIF((VLOOKUP(C53,Schedule_1,14)),"L"))*
