Thanks for the quick respone. I saw that in the help file, but what threw me
off was why wouldn't it find $150 first since it comes before $700.

Unfortunately our accounting software didn't export the names the same on
both sheets. I actually had to seperate columns with formulas and then
combine 2 columns to find something close in relation on both sheets.
This is the first time I've tried using true instead of false in my formula.

Unless the match is exact your formula will return the the first lookup that

=vlookup(h3,costs,2,false) will return only exact matches.

if you delete , 3" from the end of your lookup value it will give you the
correct answer.

You might consider reviewing the help file for vlookup.
