Vlookup
 

=VLOOKUP(B21,{"Canon",2;"Compaq",3;"Dell",4;"Eizo" ,5;"Fujitsu",6;"HP",7;
"IBM",8;"Lexmark",9;"Sony",10;"Toshiba",11;"Other" ,12},2,1)

The above VLOOKUP table works fine up to "Toshiba",11;
When it uses "Other",12; as the criteria it returns the value as a 9
instead of a 12??
Anybody any ideas?

Change the "1)" at the very end to "FALSE)"

Reason for problem is that 'Other' is not in alphabetical order, I you
moved it to before 'Sony' in the list, it should work properly without
the FALSE.
