Hi there i have a number to find from the data and return me the name of that product from the number but the problem is that number is in C column and the data name for the number is in A column so then how to i find the data because using vlookup gives me error because the data is in last Column and i want the data which is in the column before that.

Please help me

E.g:
A B C
Maggi 58 30%

So from the above eg as you can see i want to find the data in A column (Maggi) by looking up the value in C column ie (30%).
