I have a table with three names

Exam,result,ord

Have I inserted a named range called z.

When I use the formulae =VLOOKUP("Exam",z,2) it returns the value I expect
for "exam"and the same for "result", however everytime I use the name "ord"
it returns me the value for Exam.

I have checked the range of the named area z and it includes all three in
the area. I even removed the named area and used the formulae

=VLOOKUP("Exam",B31:E33,2) again to no avail for the value "ord"

Any suggestions to what I have done wrong or possible errors to look for
would be greatly appreciated
 
Instead of: =VLOOKUP("Exam",z,2)
suggest you use: =VLOOKUP("Exam",z,2,0)
to lookup an exact match, which doesn't depend on items in the lookup col
being in sorted ascending order
