I'm having trouble using the lookup function.

I have numbers that look like this in a list, although it's only part of
what I'm using:

-11 2179
-10 2420
-9 2661
-8 2897
-7 3123
-6 3332
-5 3521
-4 3683
-3 3814
-2 3910
-1 3970
0 3989
1 3970
2 3910
3 3814
4 3683
5 3521
6 3332
7 3123
8 2897
9 2661
10 2420
11 2179

When I use the lookup function on another sheet of the cell, it does not
look up the proper value always. My columns go from (-100, 100). Outside
the values of (-10,10), the lookup works properly.

These are the lookup cells:

-11 2179
-10 2420
-9 2420
-8 2897
-7 3123
-6 3332
-5 3521
-4 3521
-3 3814
-2 3814
-1 3910
0 3989
1 3989
2 3910
3 3910
4 3683
5 3521
6 3521
7 3123
8 3123
9 2661
10 2420
11 2179

If you'll notice, the values that the lookup cells get are not the values of
the cell they're looking up, but often one off.

Any suggestions on why this might be happening?

What is your lookup equation?

For instance, the equation for the cell that is to the right of zero is
"=LOOKUP(A104, 'Issue 1'!$E$2:$E$102, 'Issue 1'!$H$2:$H$102)"

If you are looking for an exact match use vlookup or index and match combo

=VLOOKUP(A104,'Issue 1'!E2:H102,4,0)

or

=INDEX('Issue 1'!H2:H102,MATCH(A104,'Issue 1'!E2:E102,0))

For some reason, neither suggestion gives values all the time now.

Often, I get the #N/A error. However, there most definitely is a value
among the series the corresponds, so there shouldn't be an #N/A error.

Did you import this? If so you might have hidden spaces trailing html
characters, I just make a quick test and copied the table for your post,
pasted into excel and applied a vlookup formula typing in the lookup values
and those that I tried I got a correct hit, no errors at all so I can only
assume that what you think is a match is not,
you can test with a cell that you know should be correct and then compare
them =cell=cell2 or even check how many characters

=LEN(lookup_Value_cell)
=LEN(value_from Table_cell)

same number?
