I was completely misreading your post. As Mike H says, VLOOKUP() simply
does not work that way. You have to use something like INDEX() & MATCH() as
Mike does in his formula, adjusting the Sheet/Range as required.

Hi,

The solution I gave you in my first post does exactly what you require. All
you will have to do is change the ranges to suit your needs.
