In the company I work for we have group managers who are responsible for
multiple locations. Each location has a 6 digit identification number. All of the location numbers for a specific group are within a range of values. An example of this is that all of the locations in Alabama are numbered between 200500 and 299500. What I need to be able to do is match a location number within that range of values and return the group manager's name. The look up table looks something like this: Start End Mgr 200500 299500 Abe Alabama 300500 399500 Gordan Gulf 400500 499500 Tom Tennessee 500500 599500 Frank Florida 600500 699500 Grant Georgia 700500 799500 Eddy East I tried using vlookup with "TRUE" in the "range_lookup" but it didn't quite give me the results I wanted. Example is that if I try to look up a location like 400000 it would be a closer match with "Gordan Gulf" and should be "Tom Tennessee". Formula I used was: =VLOOKUP(A2,Locations!A2:$C$7,3,TRUE) In logical terms here is what I want to do: IF location_number =start AND location_number <= end THEN lookup group_manager Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks so much, Scott |
