Vlookup problem

Cannot understand why I am getting peculiar results with a vlookup query
on a table similar to one below. Using the formula
=VLOOKUP(D1,A1:B7,2)
where D1 is a drop down list created from the first column below and
A1:B& is the range below as example.
eg when D1 is Sylvinite I get value 132, same with Sulphate of potash
0.60.60 gives #N/A
The rest if selected give the correct return.
I would value any help.


Sylvinite 42
Sulphate of potash 105
0.0.60 126
0.14.42 136
0.16.16 88
0.24.14 111
0.24.24 132

Try adding the FALSE segment to your formula........

=VLOOKUP(D1,A1:B7,2,FALSE)
