I want to do: Fist my reference has three columns:
Column A Column B Column C
Item Name Cost Level

Some Items have different cost to them (some different cost for different
levels) (I have put into list)

Where I want the information displayed I have the Items Names as a List. And
I want to use the vlookup to display the (cost and level) in the next to
columns. Is there a way that vlookup can read the lists in my reference. It
just displays it as a blank cell.
