Hi there, can anyone help me?
Why is Client G's value in Cell L10 always showing the same as Client P's value in L3? The correct value for cell L10 should be 123.

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Please Replace Glient G to Client Name in F9 and G 10 .. It will work perfectly

Solution
Why is Client G's value in Cell L10 always showing the same as Client P's value in L3? The correct value for cell L10 should be 123.
Because your lookup is not looking for an exact match and your lookup table is not in alphabetical order.

Try changing the L4 formula to the following and copy down

=VLOOKUP($K4,$F$4:$H$19,2,0)
