    The values that you are looking up on CALCULATIONS column A are text values and the value being looked up is a real number.

    You could multiply the values on CALCULATIONS column A from A20 on by 1 to change the text values to real numbers.

    The formula in Area!B22 is referencing column 0.....no such thing so a N/A is the result.

    What I am trying to do is similar to worksheet "Depth", the deferens is instead of reporting the depths of each node I need to add the areas progressively.
    but as I build a vlookup or an Index lookup function I'm getting N/A not the Value I'm Testing for witch is in Cell "CALCULATION!B70" (0.268356461).
