Use Vlookup to find less than today
I have the following array that uses a date to lookup my array (i.e. in E4).
=VLOOKUP(E4,'e1'!H:I,2,1) I want to modify this so that it looksup the value less that today. For example if today is the 25th April 2006 it would return 24th April 2006. I thought of using dateadd but it would not account for weekends (or public holidays in my data. For example the record prior to Monday 24th April would be Friday 21st April. Any ideas? Bruce |

Perhaps =LOOKUP(TODAY()-1,'e1'!H:I) -- daddylonglegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ daddylonglegs's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30486 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=535882 |

To account for weekends, you would need to expand on daddy's formula like
this: =IF(WEEKDAY(E4,2)=1,VLOOKUP(E4-3,'e1'!H:I,2,1),VLOOKUP(E4-1,'e1'!H:I,2,1)) -- Carlos "Bruce" wrote in message ...

Holidays are a problem in Excel, you would have to create a separate
lookup table of the holidays and factor it in. To just deal with weekends, what about =VLOOKUP(E4-CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(E4),2,1,1,1,1,1,1),'e1'!H:I,2,1) |
