I am looking for some assistance on a way to get around what I believe
is an error in excel of some sort. I am attempting to do a Match based off of a calculated field as the data in my worksheet is in percentages and the data in another worksheet is in whole numbers. Cell: N35 = 1.7500% Cell: Q36 = =MATCH(N35*100, CRF!E56:E67, -1) I need this to be a -1 as I want to show the largest number if there is no exact value that is closest to the original number. Sheet Match: Cell E56: 3 Cell E57: 2.75 Cell E58: 2.5 Cell E59: 2.25 Cell E60: 2 Cell E61: 1.75 Cell E62: 1.5 Cell E63: 1.25 Cell E64: 1 Cell E65: .75 Cell E66: .5 Cell E67: .25 It works properly for every single number except 1.75 and I can't figure out why. It keeps displaying Row 5 which correlates to 2. If I change Q36 to be =MATCH(1.75, CRF!E56:E67, -1) it works fine, but when I do (1.7500%*100) it doesn't which leads me to believe that excel is viewing those as two different numbers. I have tried using round to just bring it to 4 digits, I even tried displaying 30 digits to see if there was some sort of calculation bug within excel. Please help. |
