Try:

=VLOOKUP("*"&RIGHT(A3,4),$F$3:$G$12&"",2,0)
with Control+Shift+Enter.

Or:

=LOOKUP(2^15,FIND(RIGHT(A3,4),$F$3:$F$12),$G$3:$G$12)

if you don't want to use Control+Shift+Enter. Put IFERROR around either one if you don't want to see #N/A for no matches.

Thanks for your reply and help. When lookup range is blank formula return the value.

Please look at column A15 is blank but both formula return is K16

How to resolve the issue?

Sorry, I missed that in your image.

=IF(A3="","",IFERROR("K"&LEFT(VLOOKUP("*"&RIGHT(A3,4),$F$3:$G$12&"",2,0),2),"")) (Ctrl+Shift+Enter)

=IF(A3="","",IFERROR("K"&LEFT(LOOKUP(2^15,FIND(RIGHT(A3,4),$F$3:$F$12),$G$3:$G$12),2),""))


BTW, best not to fully quote long posts as it makes the thread harder to read/navigate and just occupies storage space needlessly. If you want to quote, quote small, relevant parts only.
