Hi Bob

Firstly, I am a non-golfer, so other than understanding what par, birdie
and eagle are from watching occasional golf on the TV, I haven't a clue.

From your description,
what is being entered in E18?
what values do D3 and D18 hold, and are they fixed or do they alter
relative to E18?
we have a constant of 28, what is that for?
what table of values do you want to lookup?

I am sure Vlookup, or Index and Match will provide a solution for you,
but I need a better understanding of exactly what you are trying to
achieve.

Hi Roger
Thank you for you kind offer but i got so angry i deleted the sheet to
move
in a different direction.
I am writing a golf score card( based on just my home club) but would
like
to expand to other clubs. The yardage and stroke index will be
different to
my club, i have set formulas for each hole based on the players
handicap, to
calculate both net score and stableford points, just by inputing the
gross
score.
=IF(E18="","",IF((AND(D3=D18,D3<28)),E18-1,IF(D3<D18,E18,IF(D3=28,E18-2))))
this is for a par 4 stroke index 10.
what i would like to do is have a list of index 1 - 18 with the
appropiate
code next to it so the user can select which index is on a certain
hole and
the correct code will slot into the correct net.
can this be done using lookup?
i hope this makes sense
Regards
Bob

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
