Excel Lookup Column 2 and Display Percentage Based On Letter

Question

I want to use Excel to lookup Column 2 and display the percentage in Column 1, based on the letters shown.

=LOOKUP(A2,{"VL","L","M","H","VH"},{"90%","75%","50%","25%","10%"})

This seems to work for VL & M correctly; however, L & H do not display anything and VH displays 10%.

Answer 1

You probably face problems that are caused by lookup finding "L" also in "VL".

Use VLOOKUP with exact matching instead.
