Formula goes in H2. G2 should be a pay rate.

no it just says 0 and here is the formula I used from you:

=(1+(G2-VLOOKUP(F2,'Pay Grid'!A4:F24,4,FALSE))/VLOOKUP('EE Pay
grade'!F2,'Pay Grid'!A4:F24,4,FALSE))

G2 should be a value relating to the grade in F2.

Yes it does now

Is G2 = 0?

I think that I should be called Excel incompetant period. Is there any way
that I can attach my spreadsheet to you and see where I have gone wrong. Now
I have 1.86417E-5 as my answer. so sorry for being such a pain

In that case, with the table in sheet1 and grade in F2, sheet 2, rate G2,
sheet 2 put this in H2 sheet 2:

=(1+(G2-VLOOKUP(F2,Sheet1!$A$1:$F$21,4,FALSE))/VLOOKUP(F2,Sheet1!$A$1:$F$21,4,FALSE))

However, if F2 contains a '10 for instance and col A in sheet 1 has 10 you
will still get #NA. Also, if col A in sheet one has '10 and F2 has 10 you
will get the same result. F2 and col A both have to be either numbers or
text.

oh dear, I think I may have said it wrong to you guys :( sorry, the info is
in the same file or work book just on a different tab or sheet.

You will have to have the full path and the .xls after the filename if
the other workbook is not open. If it is open, then you will need
[filename.xls] between the square brackets.

Hope this helps.

THis is what I did and it just says NA :(

It's not necessary - you can use two workbooks. With two workbooks, the
formula for G2 would be:

=(1+(F2-VLOOKUP(E2,[Book1]Sheet1!$A$1:$F$21,4,FALSE))/VLOOKUP(E2,[Book1]SheÂ*et1!$A$1:$F$21,4,FALSE))

ok so, I tried to do what you said and it didn't seem to work out, so I moved
the table to the same workbook as where the other information is. Maybe this
will help??

"Jim" wrote:

I put your data in A4:F24, pay grade in E2, pay rate in F2 and the following
in G2:

=(1+(F2-VLOOKUP(E2,$A$4:$F$24,4,FALSE))/VLOOKUP(E2,$A$4:$F$24,4,FALSE))

Format as %

I am trying to find the percentage at which the pay rate is equal to what
percentage based on a two factors 1) what pay grade it falls into and 2)
where it falls between 80% and 120% from the table

The info that I need to get this from is in a workbook on its own. starts
from A1 and ends at F24 (looks like this)

In a separate work book:
Cell E2 = annual base rate
Cell F2 = Pay Grade
***Cell G2 = % (this is what I am trying to find the formula for)
