    Vlookup not reading my sourcedata saying #n/a

    Hi Guys,
    Can you check why my Vlookup is not working.
    I'm supposed to get 6%, 8%, 10% with the following range value.

    The range value supposed to a "From" this value "To" this value.

    It's working correctly. Anything less than the first number in the lookup table will return N/A, as there is nothing for it to match with. In other words, with an approximate lookup, your lookup values need to be in ascending order.

    The values in cells AD17:AD19 must be in ascending order for your formula to work properly.

    Also check that column AB is not being seen as Text. You can use =ISNUMBER(AB2) to check this.
