look at the last argument of VLOOKUP.

hopefully my page explains better:

Poorly designed, because a binary search should be possible
whether an exact match is wanted or not, but it is assumed that
if you want an exact match that the table is not sorted.



AHhh. This looks brilliant thanks, very useful page.

Thanks muchily, but I'm still a bit confused, I have this table:

Hours Cost:

10 ?200.00
15 ?300.00
20 ?400.00
25 ?500.00
30 ?600.00
35 ?700.00
40 ?800.00
45 ?900.00
50 ?1,000.00

From what I can see on that page, a value of 2, would return N/A, as it
isn't above 10,... oh hang on, I can just do it.. 0 200, 10, 300, 15, 400..
i think..

Thanks, much appreciated...

Ben
