Getting a value within a range
 
What function can i use to determine a value from a range?

A B c
0 300 0.6
301 600 0.8
601 900 1.0
901 1200 1.2


So if i have a value of 500, it will compare between A & B, to provide a
value C. in this case 0.8.

Can someone advise me the best way to achieve this?

I have already generated a VLOOKUP for columns B & C, but not sure how to
get a value that is between A and B.

Thanks.

Hi,

You may try this =vlookup(A6,A1:C4,3). where A6 holds 500

Hi Ashish,

Thanks for your reply.

But 500 would be "between" 301 and 600, and is not an exact value on the
table.
So I would just get #N/A in the cell with the forula that you have suggested.

How can it get it to compare the values between A1 & B4 range? Then the
answer of that provides the value in C1 - C4?

Thanks.

As Ashish suggested Vlookup should lookup a value within a range. Format the
table cells to number format and see.
