If I use Excel's Help on LOOKUP, ( LOOKUP function - Office Support ) amongst the informations is:
Important: The values in lookup_vector must be placed in ascending order: ..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ..., A-Z, FALSE, TRUE; otherwise, LOOKUP might not return the correct value. Uppercase and lowercase text are equivalent. To see what your lookup_vectors are, in the formula bar, select this section of the formula only: 1/SEARCH(Bead!A$2:A$94,E2) and press F9 on the keyboard. You get this in the formula bar: =LOOKUP(2,{#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE! ;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;# VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VA LUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALU E!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;0.00318 471337579618;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALU E!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;0.00178571428571429;#VA LUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALU E!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE! ;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;# VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VA LUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALU E!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE! ;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;# VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VA LUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!;#VALUE!},Bead!A$2:A$94) You're looking up 2 amongst a bunch of #VALUE!s and 2 numeric values (0.00318471337579618 & 0.00178571428571429) which aren't in any particular order (not ascending) so as the Important note says: LOOKUP might not return the correct value. See also the other remarks (my red):
