Here's a link to a sample file:

xSampleLookup.xls 14kb

http://cjoint.com/?griaEtaxYD

The lookup value in cell E1 is a formula generated random number from
1,000 to 100,000. Press F9 to generate a new number.

Hi Biff,

Could you send me a worksheet with your solution, I'm a bit confused with
your solution... albeit from a pro I know it's on target.

Seems mine worked with the upper limits in my test...?

Thanks,
Howard

You had it right the first time! *Do use* the lower limits.

E1 = 9001

=VLOOKUP(E1,A1:C6,3)

Result = 15%

Woops, to clarify... only use the dollar amounts of the upper value.
So it would be 2500, 10000, 15000, 20000, 99999 in column E. Disregard
the the lower limits.

Regards,
Howard

Col A Col B Col C
Row1 $1,000.00 $2,500.00 10%
Row2 $2,501.00 $5,000.00 12%
Row3 $5,001.00 $10,000.00 15%
Row4 $10,001.00 $15,000.00 18%
Row5 $15,001.00 $20,000.00 21%
Row6 $20,001.00 $99,999.00 24%

Here's what I have.
I need to return the percentage for a value greater than or equal to
Col A
and less than or equal to column B. For example, if the lookup amount
is
$9,001, the percentage should be 15%. I'm not looking for an exact
match,
but a range between column A & B that will return the value in column
C. Any
help is greatly appreciated!
