If I enter a value (A) I want excel to tell me a value for (A)...
Hi, I want to create an excel spreadsheet to do the following: Basically I want to 'size' a component by entering it's 'Full load current; (in Amps) in one cell and then in another cell I want it to display what component I should use e.g. If I enter 1.4Am I want excel to tell me I need a 3RV1011-1BA10. How can I achieve this? I realise that I will have to enter all the component ranges in somehow but I don't know where to start. -- Ste1978 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ste1978's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=32398 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=521647 |

Set up a lookup table and use the vlookup function to access this table.
Use Excel help for this function to show how to set this up. Observe that if, as I suspect, you are entering continuous values then you need to determine how to convert this - vlookup can be set choose the next higher value for the table if this is what you want. Otherwise you might want to convert the value first. -- Cheers Nigel "Ste1978" wrote in message ...

Hi thanks for the reply, I still don't know how to start, I have hardly any excel training at all! I just want a step by step guide on how to begin? I read the help for VLOOKUP but I still do not understand. -- Ste1978 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ste1978's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=32398 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=521647 |

Hi Ste1978,
I just want a step by step guide on how to begin? I read the help for VLOOKUP but I still do not understand. See Debra Dalgleish's VLookup tutorial at: http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions02.html --- Regards, Norman "Ste1978" wrote in message ...

Ste1978
Here's a little help on that: SHEET1 A B 1 1.4 3RV1011-1BA10. 2 1.2 3RV1011-1BA10. 3 1.3 3RV1011-1BA12. 5 1.6 3RV1011-1BA13. 6 2 3RV1011-1BA14. Let's assume this is your setup SHEET2 ( optional, can be on same sheet too) A B 1 1.4 =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A1:C5,2,FALSE) will return: A B 1 1.4 3RV1011-1BA10. http://www.contextures.com/excelfiles.html has a good explanation =VLOOKUP(ItemToFind,RangeToLookIn,ColumnToPickFrom ,SortedOrUnsorted) The ItemToFind is a single item specified by the user. The RangeToLookIn is the range of data with the row headings at the left hand side. The ColumnToPickFrom is how far across the table the function should look to pick from. The Sorted/Unsorted is whether the column headings are sorted. TRUE for yes, FALSE for no. HTH "Norman Jones" wrote: Hi Ste1978, I just want a step by step guide on how to begin?

If I enter a value (A) I want excel to tell me a value for (A)...
Thanks very much. I have nearly completed my spreadsheet due to you help. The only point im now stuck on is as follows:- This is my setup at the moment Sheet1(Codes) A B 1 FLC(A) PART NUMBER 2 0.11 3RV1011-0AA10 3 0.12 3RV1011-0AA10 4 0.13 3RV1011-0AA10 5 0.14 3RV1011-0BA10 6 0.15 3RV1011-0BA10 7 0.16 3RV1011-0BA10 Sheet2(3RV Breakers) A B 1 =VLOOKUP(B5,Codes!$A$2:$B$91,2,FALSE) so if I enter '0.12' in A1 then I get a return of '3RV1011-0AA10' B which is what I want. However, on sheet1 can I enter a range i.e. 0.1 to 013 which will still give me 3RV1011-0AA10? instead of listing th ranges individually, for example I have a range of 0.7 to 1.0 which al equal 3RV1011-0JA10 but I dont want to list on sheet1 an entry of 0.7 0.71, 0.72 etc.. Thanks again for the already sterling advice -- Ste197 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ste1978's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=3239 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=52164 |

Thanks again for the already sterling advice. Use TRUE instead of FALSE. Suppose your data is 0.7 3RVXXXXXX 1.0 3RVYYYYYY 1.4 3RVZZZZZZ etc 2.0 3RVQQQQQ then using TRUE will return 3RVXXXXXX for any value between .7 and less than 1.0, return 3RVYYYYYYY for value between 1.0 and less than 1.4 and return 3RVZZZZZZZ for all values between 1.4 and less than 2.0 A V Veerkar -- avveerkar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ avveerkar's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30338 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=521647 |
