putting peoples' ages in age groups...?
Hi - I have a very long list of peoples' ages from about 22 - 70 yrs. old. I
need to put them into 5 different groups. <30, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+ I don't mind using more than one formula but I can't figure out how to write it so if I highlight those cells of numbers they will grouped into those age groups. I kind of would like to see the age group that the person falls into maybe in the column next to their age so I can still see my original data. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks much. -- sherry |

Hi sherry, In a new worksheet (say, Sheet2) create a table like this using columns A and B: 0 <30 30 30-39 40 40-49 50 50-59 60 60+ Then, if your list of people's ages is in Sheet1 column A, place this formula in B1 and fill down: =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$5,2,TRUE) |

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH. By reading your formula, I'm assuming that I can also
use that for putting people into salary groups also. It just depends on what I choose to type in Columns A & B on Sheet 2, correct? If so, this is (and you are) a lifesaver! -- sherry "sherry" wrote: Hi - I have a very long list of peoples' ages from about 22 - 70 yrs. old.

Just make sure Sheet2 column A is sorted ascending, and adjust the formula to accommodate the number of rows you have in Sheet2. |
