Here is the formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(--($G$10:$G$311=$C$10),--(I10:I311=$C$3),--($L$10:$L$311=$B$9),--($M$10:$M$311=B11),--($O$10:$O$311>=$C$4),$N$10:$N$311)
My problem is here in red ($O$10:$O$311>=$C$4). I've tried a couple different things but can't seem to match the closest range of values to the specified value to return true. Is there something simple I'm missing or do I need a seperate formula? Enclosed is a sample spreadsheet.
I couldn't resolve the formula of Index-Match for getting the values that matches the following criteria
1) Match the "Category" of Table 1 to Table 2
2) Match the "value" of Table 1 to Table 2, if value is not present in Table 2 take the upper closest value.
Once the above conditions are met, Take the Result from Table 2
Table 1 is for Input and Table 2 is for Database.
Please note that Data in Table 2 should not be sorted in any way. I tried to use the -1 option of the Match function for upper closest value but it didn't work out.
Have a look at the file attached : IndexMatchUpperClosestValue_AlongwithExactMatch.xlsx
I have about 10000 datas in column A which are items' description.
Now I have an Item description in B2 & I want the closest match in C2 with B2 from Column A.
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.
Example.xls
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.
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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm using vlookup to get a price for a unit of measure and it passes the value of the lesser not the greater. Is there anyway to get vlookup to pick the closest match as the greater value not the lesser one?
For example:
1000 units costs $8,000
4000 units cost $23,000
12000 units cost $68,000
If someone wants to buy 2500 units, I'd like the vlookup to pass the price based on 4000 units, but it passes 8,000 the value on 1000 units.
Can I use vlookup to give me the result of the greater unit not the lesser?
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'm comparing one string array with another using VLOOKUP. About half
the list matches exactly if I use FALSE in the Range_Lookup. On the
items that don't match I used TRUE in the Range_Lookup but found it
doesn't get the closest match. See example:
Test Table Array
AAABBBCCC
AAACCCCCC
AAACCCDDD
Lookup Value = AAACCCCC
VLOOKUP returns 1st item in Table (AAABBBCCC) ????????????
Of course item 2 (AAACCCCCC) is the better match but VLOOKUP doesn't
see it that way.
Does anyone know of a way around this problem? Maybe a character by
character match function that returns the item that matchs the most
number of correct characters?
Is there a way to set up drop downs so that you can type in the drop down box and it searches for the closest match?

What I was doing originially in my userform was allowing form the user to input the starting time (without having to know the exact time) example 22:00. This works but the problem is when they enter the approximate end time 3:00. Without sorting the data how do I get the ending time to match the approximate time if the time doesn't exist in the data. I was using the Match function and the defined data range with 1 (i.e. Match(value, range, 0)). This works for the starting time but not the stop time since the data is not in ascending order.
I am wondering if it is possible to search a column full of assorted values which is unsorted, and then return the closest value.
I have written a previous thread which was similar, but misleading, i feel this thread is more to the point.
Currently i use this code, but it only finds the closest highest value if the data is sorted in ascending order.
I needed to know how to find the closest match to a reference number
regardless of whether its larger or smaller. I did a search and found a post
back in March that said to use the following:
=SUMPRODUCT(((ABS(list-target))=MIN(ABS(list-target)))*list)
I applied it to my application and it works, I just have no idea why. Can
anyone explain this formula to me or tell me where I can find a good
resource.
I have a database where I have groups defined. For example, Parent 0001 is called Bag1. It contains an apple, orange, grape, and a pear. Parent 0002 is called Bag2, containing an apple, orange, and a peach. So on and so on...
Below is an illustration of what I explained above:
Parent
Level
Description 0001
1
Bag1 0001
2
apple 0001
2
orange 0001
[code]....
I need a way to input items that are in the groups and find the groups have all of the items or the group with the best match. I need to know if the match is 100% or if it is only a partial match.
The bag might have 2 items or it could have 20 items and they can be in any order.
I have modified some code I found in these forums that once I enter a value in a cell I can have it find the closest match to that value and scroll down the list and paste that value as an offset. The code works perfectly, but my data will often contain the same values repeated and these aren't duplicates and I need to know how to loop the code to ensure it doesn't just find the first value but also the second (if the first is already populated) Code is:
Sub findclose()
Dim rng As Range, Dn As Range, Mx As Single, oAd As String
Dim num As Range
Set num = ActiveSheet.Range("B1")
[Code] .......
---- What I need to do is insert a loop of some sort that basically says IF my offset cell has a value then to find the next closest amount and continue the macro.
So if my list was:
700
50
500
600
500
And I wanted to find 499 then my list would look like:
700
50
500 499
600
500
BUT if I wanted to match off another amount of 501 it would keep the 499 it found and then find the 501 making the completed list look like:
700
50
500 499
600
500 501
Right now the amounts are being overidden as I don't know how to loop it...
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 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 am looking for a bit of assistance with the following formula. What I am trying to do is use sumproduct to sum on 2 variables. I have been trying to make this happen all day and if there is already a post on here to make it work I can't find it.
The problem revolves around the middle section. I am looking to match items in a text string (it is a mixture of text and number but are all as text)
I am looking to match a product that beings 200 (which might be 2000123) I don't want to match something like G200TRF I have tried every combination of left, right, find and search but I still have the same issue.
SUMPRODUCT(--($A$1:$A$1000=($O56)),--ISNUMBER(FIND(200,$E$1:$E$1000)),H$1:H$1000)
Here is what I have so far:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Red",A9:A56))),B9:B56,L9:L56)/SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Red",A9:A56))),B9:B56)
So in column A is the text string i.e Big Red Chiquita Apple
Column B is the dollar value
Column C is another variable.
If I want to find "Red" and "Apple" ONLY within same cell. What would be my best bet?
I would like to write a formula that I believe will be a SUMPRODUCT formula with a very complicated string of MATCH and INDEX (I think). I hope this can be written in one formula - but if I need a couple to get there, that would be okay too. I am modifying an existing workbook that currently does the calculation, but it need a separate sheet for each payment - up to 12, but it can't be easily modified for more, and I need to do about 120. I can do limited SUMPRODUCT formulas and can do some limited MATCH formulas, but I can't begin to figure out how I would string this formula together. Hopefully what I need to do is clear with the excel shot below. If not, I could post a sheet that does the calculation for one payment. Thank you for working any magic you can on this.
I will try to explain how this formula needs to work. The formula needs to calculate interest on a payment, from one date to another date using a set of fixed interest rates that are established for each quarter. So this is what the formula needs to do. The workbook has a table (see below) that identifies the quarter - dates from and to, the number of days in the quarter (may be needed in the formula, but maybe the formula would calcualte?) The first and last quarter would most likely not be applied for the full number of days, since the payment would be after the start of a quarter, and the end date may not be at the end of the quarter. It needs to determine if the payment falls in a quarter, how many days then are in that quarter, and apply the base dollar amount for the number of days at the daily interest rate. So it would need to look at all dates and do this calculation and add each of the quarters together until it gets to the "Calculate to date" (cell J5). In the sheet below, I would put the formulas for each paymant in cells K8 to K14.
