Excel Data Validation/Lookup function does function correcty

Hi,
I've just got office 2007 and decided to play around on it to see what it
can do. I can't see what I've done wrong for this formula though. in theroy,
i'm trying to get the 'amount left' (right group)into 'amount left' (left
group). it comes up with the wrong data answers.

There are 2 things that don't seem to go right:
1) data vailidation option does not match lookup value (Please Specify, Red
and Cheddar all say 41)
2) if you delete the Cheddar info (41) then only stilton is correct, with
all others say '0'
