Default Help with lookup

Hi Bob

If you want to mail me a copy of the sheet direct, I'll take a look
Remove NOSPAM from my email address to send

Hi Roger
I am using type data
=IF(A3="","",LOOKUP(A3,K3:L283))
this is a copy/paste above, i have added another decimal, 4.0 now
shows 4.00
i did do another lookup just using 0.1 through to 1.8 with increases
of 0.1,
which worked but anything larger still returns for eg 4.5 as 4 instead
of 5
This is driving me mad
Regards
Bob

Hi Bob

But you say it is returning an answer of 4 for 4.4 and 5 for 4.6.
Those don't look like the returns from Lookup, but more like the
returns
from =ROUND(A1,0).

Also, are the values in your column of data, type values or values
returned from formulae?
What happens if you change the format of the cells to a greater
number
of decimals?
Does 4.5 show up as 4.499 or something similar?

I am using the same as you, would it be the size of the range, as it
goes
o.1,0.2,all the way to 28?
Every other sheet with lookup works fine but not this one

Hi Bob

What formula are you using?
=LOOKUP(4.5,A2:A5) returns 4.5 for me

Full Handicap Playing Handicap
4.3 4
4.4 4
4.5 5
4.6 5
Lookup will return 4 if i am looking for 4.4, and 5 if i look
for
4.6.
But
for some reason on all the #.5 will always return with the wrong
result. For
eg 4.5 will return 4 not 5.
Any ideas
