Changing to the $ signs did work. I originally had only the E2 in there but
I thought that was the problem so I changed it. I also had highlighted the
A2:B6 and it does show in my text about the $ signs but it did not do it when
they were put into table array. It works now. Thank you very much.

Make your Table absolute either by naming it or by adding the $ signs.

And lose the :E16 You can't have a range as a lookup value.

VLOOKUP(E2,'Grading Criteria'!$A$2:$B$6,2)

You may also want to add the FALSE argument so exact data or #N/A is returned so
you don't get closest match and no need for sorting data in ascending order.

I am trying to do my homework again. I have done everything I can to get
this to work and I keep getting error messages.

I am trying to get the letter grade on 3 worksheets. I have a forth
worksheet that has the criteria for the letter grades. I have a list of
grade scores and I need to get the letter on it. I have put in this formula
and it shows the first letter grade but shows errors in the rest.
VLOOKUP(E2:E16,'Grading Criteria'!A2:B6,2) I am not sure what I am doing
wrong. I copy try to highlight down the column and then get like 2 more of
the 16 students grades as B the rest show an error #NA. What am I doing
wrong?
