Image 716 does not work because:-

1. You are looking for a value (15 in cell D1 that does not exist in range A
1 to B 5).

2. Your formula in cell F 1 appears to be wrong; it should be:-

=VLOOKUP(D1,A1:B5,2,FALSE)

With the above in cell F1 entry of any of 50 / 40 / 30 / 20 / 10 into cell
D1 will return the correct text in F1.

Thanks.

The idea of the value TRUE of Range_lookup is to find the closest
match. "Medla" works, so why not "Appl"? Can somebody explain the
logic?

Excel does look for the closest number, but the function require that the
table is sorted ascending (small to large). If you do not sort ascending,
you will never get it working... (see excel help file)
