Hello Jim,

Looks like you want to round up to the next width or length shown, try this

If your table is in sheet2 with widths in B1:J1 and lengths in A2:A10 and
prices in B2:J10 then in sheet1 with a specific width in A1 (e.g. 26 in your
example) and a specific length in B1 then use this formula in C1


=INDEX(Sheet2!$B$2:$J$10,MATCH(B1,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$1 0)+(LOOKUP(B1,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$10)<B1),MATCH(A1,She et2!$B$1:$J$1)+(LOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!$B$1:$J$1)<A1))

24 $1.00 $2.00 $3.33

30 2.20 3.20 4.20

120

On another work sheet i have a width and length cells when i enter sizes i
want it to return price. EG width might be 26 and length maybe 27 i want to
return price of 3.20. does anyone know how to do this. i new to excel so keep
