I tried using vlookup in the attached workbook to give me the numbers you see in cells F4 and F5.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? (I've manually put the correct (desired) values in cells G4 and G5).
Thank you.

Try this...
=INDEX($A$4:$A$34,MATCH(E4,$B$4:$B$34,0))

as an explanation, vlookups return values to their right, not left (it can be done but it is more convoluted to use it to the left). So what you need is to use index/match, what Jeff gave you.

Thanks Sam for adding the explanation.
@jrtaylor,
As Sam pointed out about the traditional Left-to-Right syntax with the VLOOKUP, you can try this =VLOOKUP(E4,CHOOSE({1,2},B4:B34,A4:A34),2,0) as another option.
