I have 12 cycles based on date range - Cycle 1: July 3 - Aug 3, Cycle 2: Aug
4 - Sep 7,..., Cycle 12: June 25 - June 29. The cycle does not have a fixed
no of days.

Help me how to program it such everytime I click a button, Excel will tag
the corresponding cycle.

Vlookup does not work since there are days not present in my cycles. I don't
want to list down all 365 days and assign cycle no because it defeats the
whole purpose of programming.

Thanks

Hi Rook,

Each date can be tested against the beginning and ending dates of your
12 cycles, an UDF can handle these 12 cases ...
Could you list all your cycles ?

Rook,

Thanks for the Cycles ...

It seems Vlookup Fuction can work as follows :

=VLOOKUP(A1,F1:H12,3)

provided, it is built with an initial cell which refers to A1

with your table, say in range F1:H12, cell F1 would equal

=DATE(YEAR($A$1),7,3)

and all other cells dependent ...i.e +31, +1, +31, etc ...

VLOOKUP can work if you test for no match and action accordingly

=IF(ISNA(lookup_formula),"",lookup_formula)
