I am looking for either a macro or a function that will return a certain value.
ie: % With in Limits
test 100 99 98 97 96 .......
1 0.9 0.8 0.6 0.3 0.1
2 1.8 1.7 1.5 1.3 1.0
3 2.9 2.8 2.4 2.2 2.1

Test #2 find number 1.5 Return value 98

I hope someone can help me.

With your posted data list in A1:F4

For an exact match...

Try this:
A8: (Test to use....eg 2)
A9: (value to find...eg 1.5)

This formula returns the top row score
associated with the A9 score
for the A8 test.
=INDEX(A1:F1,MATCH(A9,OFFSET(A1:F1,MATCH(A8,A2:A4, 0),),0))

NOTE: if the A9 value is not found....the formula returns an error.

Does that help?
Post back if you have more questions.

it does help but if it isn't an exact match I still need it to return a
value. between the two numbers. ie: if it's between 98 and 99 I need it to
mathmatically calculate if it would be 98.something......

OK...I understand.....
You want to search a particular test for a certain value.
If that exact value is found, then return the associated top row value.
If that exact value is not found, then you want to interpolate the top
row values.

Again...using your posted data list in A1:F4

and
A8: (Test to use....eg 2)
A9: (value to find...eg 1.5)

Try this ARRAY FORMULA, committed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, instead of just
ENTER:
A10: =INDEX(A1:F1,MATCH(A9,OFFSET(A1:F1,MATCH(A8,A2:A4, 0),),-1))-
(INDEX(OFFSET(B1:F1,MATCH(A8,A2:A4,0),),MATCH(A9,O FFSET(B1:F1,
MATCH(A8,A2:A4,0),),-1))-A9)/SUM(OFFSET(INDEX(B3:F3,MATCH(A9,
OFFSET(B1:F1,MATCH(A8,A2:A4,0),),-1)),,,1,2)*{1,-1})

Does that help?

I revisited the formula I posted and
just thunked myself on the head!

THIS much shorter, regular formula seems to do what you indicated:

A10: =FORECAST(A9,OFFSET(B1:F1,,MATCH(A9,OFFSET(B1:F1,
MATCH(A8,A2:A4,0),),-1)-1,1,2),OFFSET(B1:F1,MATCH(A8,A2:A4,0),
MATCH(A9,OFFSET(B1:F1,MATCH(A8,A2:A4,0),),-1)-1,1,2))

Well....this is the latest in a series of final solutions :\

Lori (of these forums) used another approach in a
recent post that I like much better.

Adapted for your situation (and implemented in the
file I made available), the formula is:
=PERCENTILE(B1:F1,PERCENTRANK(OFFSET(B1:F1,MATCH(A 8,A2:A4,0),,,),A9,20))

THIS much shorter, regular formula seems to do what you indicated:

A10: =FORECAST(A9,OFFSET(B1:F1,,MATCH(A9,OFFSET(B1:F1,
MATCH(A8,A2:A4,0),),-1)-1,1,2),OFFSET(B1:F1,MATCH(A8,A2:A4,0),
MATCH(A9,OFFSET(B1:F1,MATCH(A8,A2:A4,0),),-1)-1,1,2))

Also, I updated the file I posted to reflect that change:

I hope that helps.

Hi, Eric

I put a working model of the formula at this link:
http://www.savefile.com/files/1264101

Please open that file (contains no macros) and
let me know if it works for you.

Hey Ron,

I was wondering if you had any other solutions to the problem since the
formula isn't working? Please let me know what you think might be the
problem. Every time I run the formula I get a Div/0 or a num error.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

ERic

That should be.......CTRL+Shift+Enter
Not ALT+Shift+Enter

Does that make it work?

Ron,

This formula isn't working......I Can't get it to work using
Alt+Shift+Enter
or by just using enter. Can you help? Please

OK...I understand.....
You want to search a particular test for a certain value.
If that exact value is found, then return the associated top row
value.
If that exact value is not found, then you want to interpolate the
top
row values.

Again...using your posted data list in A1:F4

and
A8: (Test to use....eg 2)
A9: (value to find...eg 1.5)

Try this ARRAY FORMULA, committed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, instead
of
just
ENTER:
A10: =INDEX(A1:F1,MATCH(A9,OFFSET(A1:F1,MATCH(A8,A2:A4, 0),),-1))-
(INDEX(OFFSET(B1:F1,MATCH(A8,A2:A4,0),),MATCH(A9,O FFSET(B1:F1,
MATCH(A8,A2:A4,0),),-1))-A9)/SUM(OFFSET(INDEX(B3:F3,MATCH(A9,
OFFSET(B1:F1,MATCH(A8,A2:A4,0),),-1)),,,1,2)*{1,-1})

Does that help?

it does help but if it isn't an exact match I still need it to
return a
value. between the two numbers. ie: if it's between 98 and 99
I
need
it
to
mathmatically calculate if it would be 98.something......

With your posted data list in A1:F4

For an exact match...

Try this:
A8: (Test to use....eg 2)
A9: (value to find...eg 1.5)

This formula returns the top row score
associated with the A9 score
for the A8 test.
=INDEX(A1:F1,MATCH(A9,OFFSET(A1:F1,MATCH(A8,A2:A4, 0),),0))

NOTE: if the A9 value is not found....the formula returns an
error.

Does that help?
Post back if you have more questions.

I am looking for either a macro or a function that will return
a
certain
value.
ie: % With in Limits
test 100 99 98 97 96
.......
1 0.9 0.8 0.6 0.3 0.1
2 1.8 1.7 1.5 1.3 1.0
