Formula For A # In A Column Of #'s That's Closest To A Certain Val
Jun 29, 2006
I'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.

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've attached a xlxs file with more detailed description.

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.
I am looking for a formula to do 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 am trying to find a closest match for a given value comparing to values in a chart. I got it to work..but it will only return a closest value that less than it. I need it to also look "up", and return a value higher than it if it is closer. I have attached the worksheet. The vlookup part is for choosing which row to use, based on the value in B1. The column index portion of the vlookup is where the trouble lies....I am comparing the value found it B2 to chose the column...and that column should be the closest value...but like I said before, it will only return a lower value. The formula is in cell B11 (Correction Factor). it SHOULD return 1.26....instead, its giving me 1.18. (200 is closer to 192 than 175 is)

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 cells B5:B15 I have a list of dates from last year. I need a formula that I can put in cell D5 that gives me the date that is closest to the same day last year.
Example:
If today is 4/9/14
and
From B5:B15 there were the following dates:
3/12/13
3/19/13
3/29/13
4/5/13
4/8/13
4/12/13
5/6/13
5/29/13
Cell D5 would contain
4/8/13 since it is the date closet to same day last year.

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 trying to run an array formula to match two dates on two seperate sheets as close together based on another cell. Below is what I currently have on some made up values. I am entering it as an array and ideally I would like it to run down the cells changing the reference A2 depending on which cell it is then to then enter this into a macro.
The formula I am currently using is:
=INDEX(Trees!B$2:B$75,MATCH(MIN(INDEX(ABS(IF(A2=Trees!A$2:A$75,(Trees!B$2:B$75-B2))),0)),INDEX(ABS(IF(A2=Trees!A$2:A$75,(Trees!B$2:B$75-B2))),0),0))
Sheet 1 (Named: Main)
Number
Date
Formula
1
15/06/2012
[Code] ....
Sheet 2 (Named: Trees)
Number
Date
1
05/06/2012

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)

I have the following table
A B
1000 610
900
800
700
600
500
400
300
200
100
I have a formula
=INDEX(A1:A10, MATCH(MIN(ABS(A1:A10-B1)),ABS(A1:A10-B1),0))
which gives me a ans of 600.
My request is: how do I find out the next closest value.
eg. closest is 600 , the next closest is 500.
How can I find out the next closest value (500) ?

I have a list of numbers Example:
8.325,8.2,8.075,7.95,7.825,7.7,7.575,7.45,7.325,7.2,7.075,6.95,6.825,6.7,6.575,6.45,6.325,6.2,6.075,5.95,5.825,5.7,5.575 ,5.45,5.325 ect
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?

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 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 50+ sites, I have made a table to show how close they are in relation to each other.
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.
I want to produce a list for each of the sites for the closest 10 sites.
Can anyone think of a way of doing this?
I can't upload a file as my work computer wont let me - it is a simple grid with site names in column a and row 1. then the distance between the site, in the same format as a fixture grid.
I am using office 2003.

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.

In the attached sheet, I am using !Staff times columns N and O to nominate a mid point break time relevant to the start,lunch break and finish times of a shift.
What I would like to do is match the result to the closest time from !Race Times Column D (highlighted green). So if for example the mid point of the shift is 10:37 (as in !Staff Times cell N23), it actually comes back with the !Race Times result of 10:35 which is the closest actual race.
Ideally I would like it to look both sides of the midpoint time until it came to the closest match, rather than always looking at an earlier time, or always a later time (eg the cell N79 has a value of 11:36, however the 2 race times are 11:35 and 11:40. Preference is it shows 11:35). If however the N79 result was 11:38 or 11:39, I would prefer it went to 11:40).
However if this is not possible then picking the next time in either direction will do.

Say i had a col of random numbers, and their corresponding probabilities of occurring;
-32.33
0.001497
-35
0.001523
-32.06876
0.001551
-29
0.001579
10
0.001607
7
0.001636
-31.54628
0.001665
-18
0.001695
Neglect the nature of the sample, its just gibberish and not of concern here. The question is, if i enter a value in column C, how do i find the closest corresponding number to it in col A, and subsequently return its nearest corresponding probability from col B? For example, say i entered 8 in C1, then the formula would need to find the closest number to 8 in col A, which is 7, and return from col B the value of 0.001636.

I have a spreadsheet with column headings in Row 1, Column A-E of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50
I have values in Row 2 corresponding to the columns above of 25, 35, 45, 55, 65
in Row 2, column F, I have a value of 53.
What I need to do is look up the closest value to 53 in Row 2, but the lower of the value and place in G2.
For example, if I lookup 53 in Row 2, I want it to look at 45, and bring back the column heading of 30, and place in G2.

The formula you see below works great. It will lookup to the closest value that matches the criteria.
=LOOKUP(2*F2-0.000000000001,C1:C4+C2:C5,D2:D5)
Here is the problem when I try to expand the range I get a zero.
=LOOKUP(2*F2-0.000000000001,C1:C19+C2:C20,D2:D20)
Is there anyway we could overcome this?
I know I could use a formula array for this, but I would like to know if this could be done in a non-array formula ....

I'm trying to vlookup age in column A, then find the closest match of that row, then return the top row's column value of that closes match(largest value less than or equal to). looking for a formula to accomplish this.
For example, for age of 1month, I have a value of 7.5. So, I'd like to return: "5th"

I've got a vlookup function driven by the result of a simple equation.
=IF(C36="","---",VLOOKUP(C18/C39,'Engine & Configuration'!D1:G24,2,TRUE))
The issue I have is that I want the result to return the CLOSEST match, not an exact or rounded up match. For example, is my "C18/C39" equation returns a value of 1.000039, I want it to match with "1" in the array and not with 1.25. The FALSE option will not work because exact matches will be very rare.
The values in the array are not whole numbers, so I don't believe a ROUNDUP type code will help.

I 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 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?
