Default LOOKUP text return text

Im using

=LOOKUP(B343,N343:N468,L343:L468)

to lookup the text in B343 within N343:N468 and return the respective
data in column L.

No joy just N/A#

So I tried

=LOOKUP(TEXT(B343,""),N343:N468,L343:L468)

Which gave the same pitifull result. How should I identify the text
type as using my "" probably doesnt refer to anything. The value in
row B is a combination of numbers and letters so I would think it is
just identified as a normal text string?

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks
