IF L2 = # find matching # in column M then and report the value that resides one cell to the right or offset 0,1.. i hope this is clearly stated... any help would be greatly appreciated...
 

Excel Facts

Create a chart in one keystroke
Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
Sounds to me like a simple VLOOKUP will work.

=VLOOKUP(L2, M1:N100,2,0)
