Question

How Can I See if Text in a Cell of Column A Matches Text in Column E and Get A Return of the data in Column D of the corresponding cell contained in Column F?

I saw an another question on the site similar with the answer of =IF(COUNTIF(E:E,A1),"YES","")

But not sure how to make it apply to my issue.

I had been using =VLOOKUP(A2,$Y$2:$Z$12,2,FALSE) but only D2 was correct and the other cells in column D were "#N/A"

Thanks in advance for your help!!!
