Default vlookup and lookup

The return is #N/A which means an exact match isn't found, correct? But I
don't understand why?

Try using the VLOOKUP formula but set the 4th argument to 0:

=VLOOKUP(R16,'[Job Size Multipliers Table.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$1:$B$10000,2,0)

That means you want an exact match.

Cell R14 =+ROUND((I14/$I$91),2) Returns value .04
Cell S14 =LOOKUP(R14,'[Job Size Multipliers
Table.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$1:$A$10000,'[Job Size Multipliers
Table.xlsx]Sheet1'!$B$1:$B$100000)
Returns value 2.405 but works on .01; .02;.03 and some others.
Job Size Multipliers Table - partial table.
0.01 3.163
0.02 2.660
0.03 2.405
0.04 2.238
I also tried the vlookup
=VLOOKUP(R16,'[Job Size Multipliers Table.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$1:$B$10000,2)

I'm using a simple 2 column table with either vlookup or lookup
function and
some of the return values are the row above. I realize if it doesn't
have an
exact match it will return the next largest value that is less so I
used the
Round function to make sure there would be exact matches. What am I
missing?
