Hello,

As we know that for using vlookup, the reference value should be in right of the lookup value.

but how can i look up for a value which is left side of the lookup value.

you cannot use lookup in that case. you could either make use of a temp column to make it appear on right hand side or you can use a combination of MATCH and INDEX to find the value

the lookup funciton is working for this in excel.

but i am not able to get correct syntax in macros.

i also problem with another lookup function which is as

b = range("a4").value
worksheet.function.lookup(b,{25000,75000,150000;1,2,3})

but it not working in macros.

is this correct ?
worksheet.function.lookup

i would think you need
worksheetfunction.lookup

again if you could add sample book with code and error, it would be easier and quicker to tell you what can be done
