METHOD - 1  VLOOKUP Formula =VLOOKUP(A1,CHOOSE({3,2,1},col1,col2,col3),3,0)    Explanation  To reverse a VLOOKUP – i.e. to find the original lookup value using a VLOOKUP formula result – you can use a tricky formula based on the CHOOSE function, or more straightforward formulas based on INDEX and MATCH or XLOOKUP as explained below. In the example shown, the formula in H10 is: =VLOOKUP(G10,CHOOSE({3,2,1},B5:B8,C5:C8,D5:D8),3,0) With this setup, VLOOKUP finds the option associated with a cost of 3000, and returns "C". Note: this is a more advanced topic. If you are just getting started with VLOOKUP, start here. Introduction A key limitation of VLOOKUP is it can only lookup values to the right. In other words, the column with lookup values must be to the left of the values you want to retrieve with VLOOKUP.  As a result, with standard configuration, there is no way to use VLOOKUP to "look left" and reverse the original lookup. From the standpoint of VLOOKUP, we ca...
