Default vlookup performs inconsistently with decimals in lookup value form

Hi

The problem is caused because many numbers cannot be represented accurately
in binary.
If you use the Round function, then the Vlookup will work

=VLOOKUP(ROUND(A54-100,1),$A$1:$B$25,2,0)

Note: I assume the ,1,0 in your posted formula was a mistype, as ,1 would
have returned the number in column A not the value of Tomatoes from column
B.
