hello community
I setted up a table in this manner:

col = B C D E F
Row = 2 Mark 100 90 80 70
3 Grade a b c d
4
5 Mark 100
6 Grade d (lookup
result base on E5)

when I use the =hlookup(E5,C2:F3,2), I have the Grade = "d" ? can community

help to explain to me what is happening to my "hlookup()" ?

thanks community for explaining

:)

I have this to be a problem also. If you reformat in ascending order ie...70
80 90 100 etc.. and re-try I think you will find that it will solve the
problem if you use:
=HLOOKUP(e5,C2:f3,2,TRUE)

Alternatively you can use:

=INDEX(C2:f3,2,MATCH(C5,C2:f2,0))

Hope this helps.

I believe all you need to do is edit your formula to include the range
lookup, result should be =HLOOKUP(E5,C2:F3,2,FALSE)

If the range lookup is FALSE you will find an exact match on your lookup
value. If the range lookup is TRUE or omitted it will return an approximate
match to your lookup value.

Hope this helps
