Return value based on fraction of a list
In $U$8:Ux I have a variable length list of sizes. In $Q$4 I have a
number (1, 2, 4, 8, etc), that is used to divide $U$8:Ux into more-or- less equal sections/fractions. In $P$8:Px I need to return a set of values (1 - Q4) that reflects the fractions in $U$8:Ux (ie they would be the numerator of the fractions). Eg: P U 1 23 1 16 1 1.5 1 85.6 1 23.4 1 12.8 2 45 2 23.6 2 56 2 105.1 So far this formula is getting there, but I can't work out how to finish it such that it accommodates ANY value in Q4. =IF(SUM($U$8:U8)<SUM($U$8:$U$75)/$Q$4,1,IF(SUM($U8:U$26)<SUM($U$26:$U $75)/$Q$4-1,2,IF(SUM($U8:U$26)<SUM($U$26:$U$75)/$Q$4-2,3,"Other values that I can't work out"))) Can anyone help? Preferably a formula but VBA would be good too. Don't worry about the SUM($U$26:$U$75) bit: I can make that take the column length into account. thanks, Philip |

's OK: Rik over on .worksheet.programming has given me the solution.
