The syntax of the VLOOKUP function is described in Excel help.
The $25 is the row part of the cell reference $B$25.

Thanks Jacob, but it does not change the value from name to name.
What does the $25,2 stand for?

In Sheet1 B6 you have the name typed

I am looking for a formula that will do the following;
If cell B6 equals Belmont, then cell B7 should equal 8.00, if cell
B6 equals SPS, then cell B7 should equal 8.50, if cell B6 equals
Cascade or Net or Special, then cell B7 should equal 9.00
I also have to be able to add more names to this formula.
