Hi, I posted a question last week and M Kan was helpful. However, I asked
further questions and this person has not responded. Can anyone else help me? ..... all the previous stuff is below ... Thanks again, M Kan. I am still very confused ... sorry! :-) I still can't get my head around these lookup tables. Using my own cell references, this is what I have ... a1 Name Hours worked Hourly rate Gross Pay Less Tax a2 Adam Green 40 14.6 584 a3 Kelly Kong 38 10.45 397.1 a4 Harry Schmidt 31 10.45 323.95 a5 Lily Chan 38 17.5 665 a6 John Van Don 40 23.5 940 a7 Olive Bliss 40 37.5 1500 THE LOOKUP FUNCTION NEEDS TO GO IN THE GROSS PAY, IE CELL D2 a12 Pay Band Withold Amt a13 0 0 0 a14 95 20% 0 a15 346 25% 63 a16 481 40% 96 a17 673 47% 183 a18 962 48% 308 I need to use a lookup function to calculate the tax.

I had to look back at your previous post to check your tax rules, but
I think this formula covers it - put it in E2: =VLOOKUP(D2,A$13:C$18,3)+VLOOKUP(D2,A$13:C$18,2)*( D2-VLOOKUP(D2,A$13:C $18,1)) and then copy down into E3:E7. Hope this helps.
