Trying to find a formula that will compare a number between 2 columns are
return the 3rd column

Something onlong the lines of
=If(And(NumberCol_A,Number<=Col_A),Col_c,"NotFoun d")

Col_A Col_B Col_C
20100101 20100129 JAN
20100129 20100226 FEB
20100226 20100402 MAR

so if Number='2010304' the result is 'MAR'

Hi,

The example llokup value you gave doesn't match any of the criteria so I'll
guess that's a typo. Try this ARRAY formula with the lookup value in D1

=INDEX(C1:C10,MATCH(1,(A1:A10<=D1)*(B1:B10D1),0))

This is an array formula which must be entered by pressing CTRL+Shift+Enter
'and not just Enter. If you do it correctly then Excel will put curly brackets
'around the formula {}. You can't type these yourself. If you edit the formula
'you must enter it again with CTRL+Shift+Enter.

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.
