Full Handicap Playing Handicap

Hi Bob
What formula are you using? =LOOKUP(4.5,A2:A5) returns 4.5 for me -- Regards Roger Govier "Bob" wrote in message ...

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? -- Regards Roger Govier "Bob" wrote in message ... 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?

Help with lookup
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 "Roger Govier" wrote: Hi Bob But you say it is returning an answer of 4 for 4.4 and 5 for 4.6.
