Hello all.
Ok, I have a question about my formula in excel. =if(b1<1,match(a1,a2:a$300,0),"ok") b1 is a cell that I've used countif in. In this specific case, I'll either have 1, or 2 as my values. What I want to do is to locate the whereabouts of the second value that matches a1, somewhere in column a. This is why I started at the next cell down from my source cell--a1. I.e., I am already aware of the first appearance of the number, I want subsequent appearances, and locations. The problem that I've gotten is that it's not showing the correct cell location, and appears to be some 5 to 140 cells off from the actual location. Here's my understanding of my question. if the b1 cell's value does not equal 1, look throughout the chosen range--a2 through a300-- for the specified cell--a1--value, if it's found, tell me where it is; else if b1 does equal 1, everything is ok. I.e., the matched value shows the location as 168, and is actually in 176 (I used ctrl+f), another one states by match value that it's in 46, and by ctrl+f, I found it in cell 157. I'm not able to readily identify anything that I've done incorrectly here, so a second, or nth pair of eyes would be appreciated. As always, thank you, in advance. |
