IF on a range of cells
 

Hello Everybody,
I am working in Excel 2003 with two lists, dates and prices in columns A and
B respectively.
I am trying to use IF worksheet function to find if any prices in the prices
column match a certain figure (say $24), if a match is found I want to
return a corresponding date from the adjacent column, i.e. column A.

For example, if I am searching for $24 in prices list and it is found in B37
then I want to return the date from A37.

Is it possible? If yes then how? Despite my years of extensive experience
with Excel, I haven't been able to figure that out.

Thank you,

Hi Syed

With 24 in A1 ant the list in sheet Prices starting in row 1, match returns
the row number where 24 is found:

=MATCH(A1,Prices!B1:B999,0)

you want to go that many rows down the A column, which is done with index

=INDEX(Prices!A1:A999,MATCH(A1,Prices!B1:B999,0))

HTH. Best wishes Harald

If you want to mention the value in formula itself then use the below
formula:-
=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(24,B:B,0))

If you want to set the C1 (24) as input cell then use the below formula:-
=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(C1,B:B,0))

Remember to Click Yes, if this post helps!
