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.
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?

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 .
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 ....

View 6 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 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:
List 1
List 2
ID Number
Date

I have a sheet of pump test results, placed in rows, where the test rig is set at a specific speeds and flow and it records pressure. At each stage of the test a number of snapshots will be taken (Usually between 3-5 at each stage), so I have 3-5 rows of very similar data. I only need to use the best row from the selection available, so I am hoping to find a formula or code (Don't care which) that can look at the results and select the row of readings where the speed AND the flow are closest to the targetted data.
For example: In cells G6:G8 I have flow result values 0.129, 0.151, 0.156 and in H6:H8 I have speed result values 72.536, 71.82, 72.13. These are actuals. In cell N6 I have the target speed (75) and in O6 I have flow target (0.15), but these could be moved anywhere to suit really. What I was hoping to do, but am struggling big time, was to just flag up the row of readings where these two values are closest to the targets by placing a check mark in column L:L which I have formatted in monotype sorts and would like to place a "4" (Which gives me a check mark) on the 'best' row. From that I can do more with some simple IF statements.
Is this feasible, or am I trying to do something beyond Excels capability, it is certainly beyond mine at the moment. I was looking at the check mark method, but that is not essential, so if anyone has any suggestions on an alternative means of identifying the best row of data, that might make it easier to do, then I am listening.
I'm looking for a solution that could automatically return a value from a predefined named range depending on a given value. eg. I have 3 discount groups:
1) Discount A
Above quantity 5 = 3%
Above quantity 10 = 4%
Above quantity 15 = 5%
Else = 0%
2) Discount B
Above quantity 30 = 2%
Above quantity 60 = 9%
Else = 0%
3) Discount C
Above quantity 15 = 5%
Else = 0%
I have assigned all products to the various groups using vlookup. All discountgroups are named ranges (respectively DISCOUNT A, DISCOUNT B, ...)
ALL OF THE ABOVE IS DONE. How can I make excel look into a named range and return the correct percentage depending on the quantity that is written elsewhere (Keep in mind, most discount groups have a different amount of applied scales as you can see above). So far I can make it look into the correct named range and return a value when a quantity is exactly the same as the minimum quantity. The 'between' or scale functionality ... I have no idea how to work that out within a named range, whilest keep on looking for next scale if condition is not met.
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))

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)
im trying to get the lookup answer based on two values the current formula i have is
=VLOOKUP(AND(A1,B1),Sheet2!$A$1:$C$31,3,FALSE)
which naturally returns N/A... i might even be using the wrong formula?
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 created a workbook that contains a summary worksheet as well as a lookup page. On the summary worksheet, I have a cell that states the current balance for a series of investments that are listed by date in the lookup worksheet.
I need to create a formula that references the balance that is listed under the most recent period. For example, I have investment balances from January to May, and I need to have the May balance appear as the current balance, until next period, when the June balance should appear, etc.
In the sample that I have attached. I am trying to compare Control ID and Business Date in Sheet[Test] and Sheet[Perform], If they are the same, then populate in Sheet[Perform] Column Test Status with the corresponding row in Sheet[Test]. note that Control ID and Business Dates are not constants.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to take a value from an adjacent cell and automatically enter that value in a specific cell in table on a second worksheet. The cell must match two criteria specified in the previous two ceels to the value.
The table is made up of dates and colours, it seems simple in my head but I'm not sure where to start, i would like to use a macro so when a specific key is pressed the information is automatically entered into the relevant cell.
I am trying to read down a column of unknown rows stopping when it reaches a colored cell, calculate the results and return it to the colored cell "before" the read cells.
Is this possible?
For example:
A3 is a colored cell that I need to return results of say A4:A6
A4:A6 have the data
A5 is a colored cell that has results from say A6:A12
A6:A12 have the data
etc...
Now the data to calculate is from a Data Validation list that ignores Blanks
accepted values: Blank, Yes, No and Maybe
If ANY No, colored cell = No
If ANY Maybe, colored cell = Maybe
If ANY Blanks, leave colored cell blank
If ALL Yes, colored cell = Yes
"No" wins over any value
"Maybe" wins over Yes and blank
"Blank" wins over Yes
It may be possible to simplify by breaking the "results" cell into another column but the above mentioned is their preferred way to handle and "automate" it. Also might be easier to put the results cell at the end of the read cells?
I have two pivot tables (for sales and purchases) with three columns each, ie: company 1, company 2 and amount
I need to reconcile that for the internal purchases and sales the sale value is the same as the purchase.
So in first pivot table (purchases) I have one row with internal transactions where company 1 = AZS, company 2 =YDR, value 100
In second pivot table (sales) I have one row with internal transactions company 1= YDR, company 2 = AZS, value 95
I would like to develop a macro that would check automatically the combinations of companies and find out if there are differences between sales and purchase. So in the example it should show that there is 5 usd more in purchases. Hopefully normally is zero
