Hi

Assuming that you have a dataset as follow :
Col A--------Col B-------Col C-------Col D
Name-------Value-------Lookup-----Value Return
Alan--------100-----------Ken--------300
Joey--------200
Ken---------300
Mike--------400

and you want to find the corresponding value for Ken in col A and have
the result in D2.
=VLOOKUP("Ken",A5:B9,2,0)

Alternatively, you may want to use cell to hold the lookup value, eg
C2 hold the lookup value, ie Ken
=VLOOKUP(C2,A5:B9,2,0)
This will give you 300 in D2

I suggest that you post your problem with an example if there is one you
are currently facing with.
