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 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?
I 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 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 am using Excel 2010 and need to create something like a histogram that will have large regions of null values. In other words, my histogram might look like this...
x x x x x x x __x_________x___________x______ 100 250 420
[My laboriously drawn histogram does not display correctly. It is supposed to have 3 x's above 100, 2 x's above 250, and 5 x's above 420]
I have data in the form of: Value Prob. 100 30% 250 20% 420 50%
I have Excel giving me a histogram that looks like this... x x x x xxx xxx [This histogram also didn't turn out. Again, it is supposed to be 3 vertical x's, 2 vertical x's, and 5 vertical x's]
What I have tried to do is to create a list based on the lowest and highest numbers (e.g., 100 and 420) and split that into equal increments. I then intended to use a VLOOKUP or something to pull back the probability associated with the number in my list nearest the data value I have.
I couldn't get VLOOKUP to work correctly, so was happy when I found the following thread on Ozgrid. [URL]
However, in each of the solutions listed in that thread, I get faulty results. I am attaching a file that shows the errors and what I am trying to get : Example.xlsx
Perhaps there is some easier way to do what I am attempting to do. This architecture makes sense to me, but sometimes the perfect solution doesn't make sense until I see it...
I have a list of ID Numbers and Dates. Let's call this "List 1".
I also have a second list "List 2" which also contains a list of ID Numbers and Dates as well as a third column for Rating.
I am trying to extract the Rating for each ID Number from List 2 and display in List 1. The problem is that the Rating can change with time, so List 2 contains several different Date and Rating values for the same ID Number.
What I need to do is lookup the ID Number from List 1 and return from List 2, for that ID Number, the Rating at the closest date prior to the date for that ID Number in List 1. Example below:
I am trying to perform a lookup (vlookup) function in a cell in excel and wish to have the range as a variable, so that I can adjust which column the lookup function refers to.
I am trying to use lookup function to lookup for data in another table (we call it table A). Unfortunately, whenever the code is not in the table A, Excel will return the data from the previous row.... is there any possible way to prevent this... in another word, if the code does not exist in the table A, I want Excel to return 0 or some other figures.
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)
and what I want is to say put a formula in cell B3 on Sheet 1 pointing to cell C3 that has zip code 33333. I want it to then take that and look in Sheet 2 and search A1:D3 and when it finds 33333, return "territory 2" back to cell B3 on Sheet 1.
I need to place a lookup table in a work book and I'm not sure how to do it.Below is what I specifically need in my workbook.
c. The workbook will need a lookup table that will lookup the tuition, clothing and entertainment figures depending on the selection of college, and will ensure that only the colleges on the list are selectable. That is, the worksheet will not allow the user to enter another college not in the list.
The lookup list must be on a worksheet by itself at the end of the workbook.
I am attempting to do a search on a 2 dimensional table, based on Product Code/Month. Is there a function, addin or a macro that will allow me to do this? All I can come up with is a messy combination of VLOOKUP/HLOOKUP/COLUMN.
I get a file every day that contains online orders for a client. They have made the state and country fields on the order form free text, so sometimes the State field has CA, sometimes California, sometimes even Cal or Cali. Oregon may be represented as OR, Oregon, or Ore (and one time even Orygon.)
The country field may have US, USA, United States and sometimes United States of America.
Well, they need this data imported to their system with the states fully spelled out: Oregon, California. And the country spelled out as well: United States, Canada.
Right now I have a lookup tables worksheet that I just have a macro run a vlookup on. But I'd like to know if there is a way I could just put it all in the code, without the external tables.
i.e. some code that, in English, would basically say, "If the value of any cell in column K is among these values, replace it with those values, otherwise just leave it as it is". Could I do that while containing the two sets of values right in the code rather than on a worksheet?
I really just want to replace the standard abbreviated state/country codes with the full text, and if the value does contain Cali or Ore, let them manually make the change. Hopefully that will finally nudge them to just make the online order form utilize a drop-down list of states and countries, rather than free text.
I have a large set of frequency data obtained from experimental testing which is dependant on three variables - a span length (from 0-20 metres), vehicle type (divided into motorbikes, cars & trucks - small, medium & large for each) & speed (20-80 km/hr).
Given a span length, speed & particular vehicle (eg large car), I need a program/formula that calculates the equivalent vehicle type (eg in 'motorbikes' - it would correspond to 'small') based on the frequency data. The equivalent vehicle frequency would be +/- say 0.5 Hz (since one type of vehicle would not have the exact same frequency as another).
I have tried experimenting with 'vlookup' functions but it doesn't seem to yield a solution to this problem.
I have a spredsheet for a weight lifting contest they are using the wilks formula to give each lifter a coefficient. I have them all in a table and we usually just look them up manually. This gets us very behind with the fast paced nature of a live contest. Here is a sample of what I have a data.....

I need to make a program to take inventory at a bakery. We do this twice a day. Our products are loaves of bread. We have white, multigrain, soy and lindseed, low gi, and gluten free.
They are in pallets, trolleys, crates, boxes, pallet rows (part of a pallet) and individual loaves (singles)
I need to find out how many loaves that we have. How do I total them up?
I have a problem with a table I am using I need to look up two values in a table and return the the score to the relative cell.
I have attached an example of what I need. I don't know if I can use the VLOOKUP function or would it be better to use the Index feature?
I have defined a name called 'Com' which is for the whole table in the 'Com' sheet.
On the 'Results' sheet all cells highlighted in Yellow are where values are entered and contains no formula. The Green cells are the cells where I need to amend the formula so that it is more efficient.
What I need exactly is for the formulas in C4 to C11 is to first look up the values in column A and match the value in column B that relates to column A.
For example on the 'Results' sheet, if the value in B6 equals b then the formula in C6 should then look at the table in the 'Com' sheet then match 'Com 1' and then look at the response value in column B to match the rating of 'b' and then return the value of '4' from Cell C2 on the 'Com' sheet.
I'm currently using a lookup table to determine programs to run on a machine, however I have 3 exceptions to this and can not get my code to work.
Currently the code looks at column D for the type, then column F for the thickness of material. It then calculates the etch time required using the rate (all shown as 1 currently) on the cal_sheet and then rounds this up to a whole number. This is then compared to a second table where the program details are listed against etch times.
the code for lookup value of point 1 and point2 from the table ,if i key in the no.group and type of grade. eg.1 Group10 grade a value to be point1=75 point2=20 eg.2 Group16 grade B value to be point1=125 point2=172
How to do simple table lookup. I have a table showing #of colors being used for screen printing down one side and qty of shirts ordered going across the top. I would like a formula that when I enter the # of colors and the quantity of shirts it will return the correct price.
I have an engineering spec table. Down 12 columns I have height in metres of a post and across the rows I have square metres with 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 being the sizes.
The engineering spec of the post type is in the table. There are some duplication of post types so post heights of 1m, 2.1m, 2.4m, 2.7m, 3m, 3.3m and 3.6m are the same, then they change. Its a similar thing in the other column headers for 10sq.m 15sq.m etc.
I need a formula so that if the post height of 3m was chosen and the sq.metres was 15 then it would tell me the post type from the table. Or if the post height was 4.8m and sq.metres was 25 it would tell me.
The post type is an engineering code of numbers and letters with no spaces.
I use a vlookup function on some database to lookup some data. However the data that I wanted to lookup is actually on the third row. In my attached sample, I have some data in "source data" worksheet. Another worksheet "Ratio" is where I keep the lookup value. In this sample, I actually wanted to lookup the ratio of 0.7 for Geogetown. And 0.66 for Queenstown. Could the vlookup formula be modified or need some vba code to achieve this?
I have generated a report from my system that shows which customer bought which item # and its qty. There are approx. at least 500 item/customer to go though, is it possible for me to do vlookup or other formula into sheet 2 that will show the qty # for each customer? (pix #1 into pix #2- possible?)
In my enclosed attachment, you will see my dilemma. I have a list sort based on the cell value, but when two values are the same, it shows the first alphabetical listing twice when I INDEX. I can go into the individual cell and correct it, but how can I apply the formula to all the cells so no matter the matching values, I always get name A and B, rather than two A's, for example?
