Doug,
You still have not given us the complete picture
The number that is closest to 0.21 is 0.2019 in the 0.4 column of the 0.5
row
How are we to know which row or column to search?
best wishes

I am sorry, let me give more detail.
These are the actual values in a portion of the table; If cell "T1" says
".12" I need it to first recognize the closest value, being between 0.1179
&
0.1217. Second since it is closer to 0.1217 it would return the value
".31".
How can this be accomplished please?

0.00 (0.01) 0.02 0.03
0.0 0.0000 0.0040 0.0080 0.0120
0.1 0.0398 0.0438 0.0478 0.0517
0.2 0.0793 0.0832 0.0871 0.0910
(0.3) 0.1179 (0.1217) 0.1255 0.1293
0.4 0.1554 0.1591 0.1628 0.1664
0.5 0.1915 0.1950 0.1985 0.2019
0.6 0.2257 0.2291 0.2324 0.2357
0.7 0.2580 0.2611 0.2642 0.2673
0.8 0.2881 0.2910 0.2939 0.2967
0.9 0.3159 0.3186 0.3212 0.3238
1.0 0.3413 0.3438 0.3461 0.3485
1.1 0.3643 0.3665 0.3686 0.3708

The other day, I used this formula to lookup table data based on the
row and
column such as:
=INDEX($R$3:$AA$41,MATCH(FLOOR($S$1,0.1),$Q$3:$Q$4 1,1),MATCH(FLOOR($S$1-FLOOR($S$1,0.1),0.01),$R$2:$AA$2,0))

So that If I had the number 2.22, it will return for me .15 from the
table
lookup table (made up values)
.00 .01 .02 .03 .04 ... .09
2.0 .31 .32 .33 .34 .35 ... .50
2.1 .21 .35 .51 .51 .25 ... .85
2.2 .53 .52 .15 .52 .51 ... .81
2.3 .89 .58 .23 .45 .15 ... .15

My question now is, based on the above formula, how would I be able to
do
the opposite. So if I have the indexed value; say .15, and I want it to
return 2.22?
