Finding Closest Match
Hi, I know there are methods to find the closest match to a number that is either greater than or smaller than a reference number but how do you find the closest number regardless of whether its larger or smaller. Any help would be very welcome.

Finding Closest Match
Assuming there are no duplicates in your list,
enter as an array formula =SUMPRODUCT(((ABS(list-target))=MIN(ABS(list-target)))*list) otherwise use this array formula for the first closest match =INDEX(list,MATCH(MIN(ABS(list-target)),(ABS(list-target)),0)) |
