have weekly store gross profit report(s) and want to assign a letter based on
a range of $0, 1000,2000,3000,4000,5000, 6000 which would return
7,6,5,4,3,2,1 respectively...have tried
=lookup(A1,{0,1000,2000,3000,4000,5000,6000},{"7", "6","5","4","3","2",1"})
which gives the same rating for all stores. is cntl-shft required with the
use of braces { }?
thx

Will something like:

=ROUNDUP((7000-A2)/1000,0)

work??

Works OK for me. Make sure calculation is set to automatic:

In Excel 2007:

Formulas tabCalculationCalculation OptionsAutomatic

All other versions of Excel:

ToolsOptionsCalculation tabAutomaticOK

You also might want to remove the quotes from around the numbers:

=LOOKUP(A1,{0,1000,2000,3000,4000,5000,6000},{7,6, 5,4,3,2,1})

Quoting numbers makes them TEXT.

it might, but the ranges and/or designation(s) (1... goes to A..) or something.

tried ={0,"7", 1.1,"6"... } cntl-shft enter
as an array, but this also gave incorrect/inconsistent error too.
thx
