Default Excel 2002: How to classify numbers ?

Hi Shane,

I wounder if this formula could only pick up the exact match, it won't pick
up the rage of numbers in accordance with their groupings.

Any idea ?

Thanks

Low

Hi,

You can use VLOOKUP as follows:
1. Create a lookup table like this, say in L1:M5 (it looks like you will
need more in your case)
0 A
20 B
35 C
65 D
135 E

In cell E2 enter the formula

=VLOOKUP(D2,L$1:M$5,2)

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Hi,

Lets consider the folowing table:

A B C D E
1 Invoice Date Amount Days Old Group
2 B21 21.5.09 200 60 C
3 yyy 30 B
15 A
120 D
360 E
450
245
Group defination:
0 < A < 20
20 < B < 35
35 < C < 65
65 < D <135
135 < E

The group classification is a range where the number of days lies.

May I know the formula for cell E2 that enable me to get the answers when
copy downwards ?

Thanks

Low
