LOOKUP Function

Syntax : LOOKUP(lookup_value,  lookup_vector,  [result_vector])

The LOOKUP function vector form syntax has the following arguments (argument: A value that provides information to an action, an event, a method, a property, a function, or a procedure.):

lookup_value Required. A value that LOOKUP searches for in the first vector. Lookup_value can be a number, text, a logical value, or a name or reference that refers to a value.

lookup_vector Required. A range that contains only one row or one column. The values in lookup_vector can be text, numbers, or logical values.

Important   The values in lookup_vector must be placed in ascending order: ..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ..., A-Z, FALSE, TRUE; otherwise, LOOKUP might not return the correct value. Uppercase and lowercase text are equivalent.

result_vector Optional. A range that contains only one row or column. The result_vector argument must be the same size as lookup_vector.
