How do I find a column entry closest to a particular value
I'm trying to find the closest value in a column to a specified number, then
list it. Basically, I have a function in which I have to find 25% of the max value and find which value in the data column that is closest. I was trying to use a function to search the column but it wasn't working. any thoughts? Thanks, Dave |

Try the following formula that needs to be confirmed with
CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER... =INDEX(A1:A10,MATCH(MIN(ABS(A1:A10-B1)),ABS(A1:A10-B1),0)) ....where B1 contains the specified number. Hope this help!
