Try this in D19:

=VLOOKUP(D18,L6:N34,3,0)

Hope this helps.

VLOOKUP is a standard Excel function. As for every other Excel function
(except one), Excel help will tell you the syntax, and also usually give
examples, and probably a "See Also" link to related functions.

The second parameter defines the table L6:N34, which is 3 columns wide
- hence, the 3 means to bring the data from the 3rd column (i.e.
column N) of this table corresponding to a match between D18 and
column L. The final parameter means to look for an exact match - it
could also be set to FALSE.

Hope this helps.
