hi community

when i created a table horizontally, a value from Ascending scale...
example:

mark: 0 30 40 60 80 90
grade F E D C B A

and when I used the =hlookup to find the approximate mark say, 85, I able to
obtain "B"

however when I reverse the mark to Descending scale...
and use the same hlookup method with 85 I obtain an "F"

is there a way to find the correct grade if I place the mark in Descending
scale ??

thanks community for help render :)

With your table in A1:F2 and your search argument in A4:

=INDEX(A2:F2,,MATCH(A4,A1:F1,-1))

Gives you "A"

You would need ot add a new row which is 100-Mark

mark : 90 80 60 40 30 0
Nmark:10 20 40 60 80 90
grade A B C D E F


Then take the grade ans subtract from 100 and lookup in the Nmark row.
Mark
