Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
don't forget to put false in the end in your formula, otherwise you will get problems with sorting

You table description is somewhat lacking. In the absense of more info I fail to see why a sequential lookup is required when you could directly access the desired value using...

=INDEX(D2:D6,A1)

...where D2:D6 contains {"cat";"dog";"mouse";"hello";"table"}.
