I have a worksheet in which column C is a list of times in 5 minute increments. I want to activate in VBA the cell closest to noon but I can't tell it ("it" being my computer) to just find "12:00 PM" because the actual value may be 12:01, 12:02, 12:03, or 12:04. Is there a way to tell it to activate whichever value is there?
View 5 RepliesI am trying to pull the closest times above and below and some other data from various worksheets. I've included a sample worksheet that has a dumbed down version of the tables and sheets.
I am having problems pulling the correct times and believe my error is in this part of the bigger formulas (
COLUMN(INDIRECT(portlookup&C5&"HEAD"))-COLUMN(C1),3)+1<=2
which breaks down to
COLUMN(INDIRECT(ABYJANHEAD))-COLUMN(C1),3)+1<=2
I don't think this is accurately telling my formula how to look at the table and pick the right time. I've tried different mod divisors and still can't get it to pull the right time.
i have 2 columns of data.
Column A is state
Column B is money owed to that state
So lets say
A1 is florida and B1 is 29,000
I am trying for column C to tell me what values (and if possible the cooresponding state) are the 2 closest values above it and the 2 closest values below it in B1:B50. It can appear as a string of text like 27,000 CA 28944 (OR) 31000 (FL) 31200 (GA)
Got the roundup part which is ROUNDUP(F2,-3) but having hard time with the other part If the cell (F2) is 0 or below would like to show zero. I am attaching a spreedsheet so you can see what I'm trying to get at.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet with two sheets, 'Sheet0' & 'Sheet1'. In 'Sheet0' I have a column named 'A_Sheet0' containing a list of numbers from Rows 2 - 50. In 'Sheet1' I have 3 columns, the first containing numbers 1 to 50, the second, 'B_Sheet1' containing a list of ascending numbers and the third is the column of interest. This column entitled 'Nearest Value' must read the corresponding value of Column 'B_Sheet1' then find the closest number to that from the numbers in 'Sheet0', column 'S_Sheet0'.
I have included a sample file with this thread, and in the 'Nearest Value' column I have manually input some of the nearest values for your information.
i have a group of numbers in A1:C2 and I need a formulas to find the closest number above and below a reference number in cell A3.
so if my numbers were 12.52, 12.02, 12.98, 12.64, 12.64, 10.83 and the reference cell was 12.62 the formulas would return 12.52 as closest below and 12.64 as closest above.

I am running a time series linear regression on a credit card company. The left most column is the amount of cards they had on a certain year and the prediction is the cards the regression formula predicted. The + and - are the columns added or subtracted the standard error which is 3.25. I am trying to highlight the closest +/- number to the original cards. For example, in the first Row 76.98 is closer to 78 than 83 is so i would like to have 76.98 highlighted...showing that subtracting the standard error gave us the closest prediction. The second column the 87.085 cell should be highlighted because adding the standard error gave us the closest prediction to 86.4.
I've got a table of different values in column A.
I'd like the cell D2 ("order") to show up at column B next to the closest value of 35.00 of column A.
Consequently, how to make "order" meet the closest several value of 35.00?

I have a spreadsheet where an engineer is expected to record sample temperatures of water outlets, along with the time he took the sample. Each outlet has a row on the spreadsheet with a column for the Temperature and column for the time. I would like to automatically input the current time(or time and date) on each line as the temperature is entered.

My request is: how do I find out the next closest value.

How can I find out the next closest value (500) ?
I have a protected worksheet. Users wish to be able to track changes in the input cells. The suggested approach for this is to temporarily disable sheet protection and allow them to change the font color, then protect afterwards. What I would like to do is:
i) check whether they are in an input cell
ii) if so, then prompt the user with the 'Font Color' dialog box
iii) apply the font color selected to the input cell
I'm struggling to find the dialog box I need. I can launch the one to change the interior color, no problem (Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPatterns).Show). But that's no use to me, I just want a color palette that specifically relates to the Font Color

Then I have a formula solving for a number, but I may get 6.00, which is not in my list. I want to have a "seek down" and display 5.95 (as it is in the list) and not 6.00. I will always seek for a lower number. Is this possible with a formula.

I have a list of standard resistor values on a separate tab and I want to grab the closest one (either lower or higher, whichever is closest). If I calculate a number to be 8.9, I want it to grab 9.1 instead of 8.2 (which is what it's doing with VLOOKUP). Is there an easy way to find the minimum distance or something?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a fourmla to return a value in a column next to the closest value. Yes, this would normally be a vlookup example however in my application the numbers will not match exact as such in an client lookup application. I need to find the closest value to the value compared in the range and return the value to the right of it.
I have made up a small table attached with comparing what vlookup gives me and what I am looking for.

I am looking for how to find a closest match for to a a given number in a table based on looking up the value of one cell to determine what column to look in, then compare the given number to the values in the column, and then return the value in a another column of the same row it finds the match in. Ive attached an d example.
The value in B2 is the value I am trying to find a closest match to. It first must determine which column to look in, and that is dictated by cell B3. So, since R-404a is entered in B3, column J is the column it looks in, and it returns 0.21, since it is the closest match .
I have 2 lists. One list consists of the names of agencies as they would appear in our company's data base. The other list is the official business names. I would like match our company list with the official business name list by matching at least 2 words from the name with a name that shows up in column C (Official agency name).
If possible, I would like to ignore preposition and article words since they are used often in agency names.

The black cells show when it is the same site the bright green show when they are <5 km away and light green shows when <15 km away.

Can anyone think of a way of doing this?

I am working on payment/cost estimator and am looking for some ideas and formula or macro help. Basically what I am trying to do is set up a calculator where you would input the payment you could afford and it will tell you how much you can spend on the equipment.
The problems I am running into are that when you factor in the interest rate and commission, the payments are round numbers so I need the formula to find the closest value.
Example- $250 payment. The payments in the table w/ the interest rates are $158, $248 and $350. I would need it to pick the corresponding equipment cost for the $248 payment.
Make sense?
If a macro would be easier I am fine with that, just have limited experience setting one up.
I need to find which number in a row would be closest to zero, then display the associated name. The number can be negative. I used this, which works well if all the numbers are positive: =INDEX($C$1:$E$1,MATCH(MIN(C66:E66),C66:E66,0)). I'm running into a problem when the closest number is negative.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a function or formula in Excel that will find a number in a
range of numbers that is closest to a specified number. Example: I have a
column of 7 cells that contain cummulative percentages from 0 - 100. It will
always be theses same cells, but will have varying percent values depending
on other calculations. I need to find the first number that's closest to and
below 10. I also need to find the first number that's closest to and above
10. I need this for 3 other values (40, 50, & 90)as well, but if I can get
an example of a formula, I could probably go from there.
