Default Needed Help..

What function i need to use for searching and calling up a value.
For example
A B C
-----------------------------------------
Row1 ”‚ X ”‚ 40.1 ”‚ Pen ”‚
-----------------------------------------
Row2 ”‚ ”‚ 40.2 ”‚ Paper ”‚
-----------------------------------------
Row3 ”‚ Y ”‚ 40.3 ”‚ Ruler ”‚
-----------------------------------------

The value i enter at X will be search in the column B which it will display
what it is at C and shows its result at Y.

e.g. if i enter a value 40.2 at X.. if will search and display Paper at Y.

how do i go about doing this.

=VLOOKUP(A2,B2:C10,2,0)

where A2 is where you put 40.2

Put the formula in the cell where you want the result (Y)

It is basically search and display..

for e.g.

If i key in 40.1 at X.. if will search the Column B and display PEN as the
answer.
If i key in 40.2 at X.. it will display PAPER at Y as the answer
If i key in 40.3 at X.. it will display RULER at Y as the answer.
