Comparing to a range and printing value
Hello,
I have a column of data like this (just a sample): 16.81 17.25 16.51 17.63 17.07 Then, at a different area in the same worksheet I have three other columns like this (again, just a sample): 16.5 16.74 3.1 16.75 16.99 3.07 17 17.24 3.07 17.25 17.49 3.07 17.5 17.74 3.04 What I want to do is take the number from the first set (i.e. 16.81), figure out which range it corresponds to in the second data set (16.75 - 17) and then print the 3rd number in the second set (3.07) in the cell next to the number in the first set. So, I'd get: 16.81 3.07 17.25 3.07 16.51 3.1 17.63 3.04 17.07 3.07 Any suggestions would be much appreciated! |

Try this:
With this table in the range G1:I5 - 16.5 16.74 3.1 16.75 16.99 3.07 17 17.24 3.07 17.25 17.49 3.07 17.5 17.74 3.04 A1 = 16.81 =VLOOKUP(A1,G$1:I$5,3) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Alyssa M" <Alyssa wrote in message ...

Comparing to a range and printing value
Hi again
Thanks for that! It works for the first part, but what I actually have is 5 rows in the second table: 16.5 16.74 3.1 4.2 4.5 16.75 16.99 3.07 4.1 4.4 17 17.24 3.07 4.2 4.6 17.25 17.49 3.07 4.3 4.4 17.5 17.74 3.04 4.1 4.3 Sometimes I need to print the 3rd number, other times I'd need the 4th or 5th. How can I do this? I have tried: =VLOOKUP(A1,(G$1:H$5,K$1:K$5),3) and =VLOOKUP(A1,AND(G$1:H$5,K$1:K$5),3) and other variations, but nothing seems to work. Is there any way to do this? Thanks again!!

Ooops! Never mind! I didn't realize that the last number was the column
number (I thought it was searching for the number closest to 3 for some reason). Anyway, thank you so much! You just saved me a ton of time :D "Alyssa M" wrote: Hi again Thanks for that!

How do you determine which column number you want? You can probably factor
that into the formula instead of changing the formula all the time. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Alyssa M" wrote in message ... Ooops! Never mind!
