Default Price Lookup

Hello, i want to lookup a certain price of a door in a price matrix that
matches criteria both in the left most column and topmost row that is between
2 values (for height) and 2 values (for width). So eg. i want to find the
price of a door which is 720 high X 450 Wide. I have to retrieve the price
from the matrix that the door sits in. So for left most column it maybe
between sizes 650-830High and 380-490wide, where 650-830 sits in one cell.
Any help appreciated. if i haven't explained myself properly or you need
further information please ask.

cheers

Default Price Lookup

You need to restructure your table.

Make it so that both the vertical and the horizontal headers are the lower
boundary of each size interval.

thanks for your help so far. i have changed headers to suit. but the i think
the link shows me for a "match". What command do i use so it keeps going down
the row until it finds a number no bigger than the door width and then
accross the columns to find a number no bigger than the width?
