Looking up a value to see if it is valid in multiple ranges

I have a list of numeric values in Column F to look up. I am trying to see if the value in each row of column F is valid in ranges in columns J-K and if so, return the value in column L for that row into column G. If the value is not found in any of the ranges in columns J-K, return an error or "Not Found" in Column G.

I have tried VLOOKUPs and COUNTIFs, but cannot seem to get what I need.

Can anyone tell me what formula I could use in Column G?
Thx.
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Something like
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(F5,J1:L30,3,0),IFERROR(VLOOKUP(F5,K1:L30,1,0),"Not found"))

Thanks, but did not work. For example, one value I'm looking up in Col F is 61. The range in Col J-K is 51-71 (Col J=51, Col K=71) so the formula is not finding it.

Also, I need it to be able to identify values that are not in any of the ranges, so if I add "false" to the VLOOKUP, it will assign a value even if it is not in a valid range.

Tried, but my network security won't let me navigate to these pages to download a tool that let me post a screenshot. Below is sample data if that helps.

Col F, G, J, K, L
75, Henry, 1, 10, Adam
61, Graham, 15, 22, Bill
11, Not Found, 29, 40, Catherine
27, Not Found, 44, 50, Diane
51, 55, Ed
61, 65, Graham
68, 77, Henry

The only formula I have in in Column G, which doesn't work, but the values I would expect to see are shown above.
Thanks again for any help you can give.
