    Unhappy LOOKUP IF AND COMBO Help please...



    Hi,

    I am new to the forum so forgive me if I break any 'rules'

    I have a problem I wonder if anybody can help with as I'm going around in circles.

    I have my excel spreadsheet set up as follows:

    Min Max (incl VAT)

    £0.01 £5.00 £1.20
    £5.01 £10.00 £1.40
    £10.01 £15.00 £1.70
    £15.01 £20.00 £1.80
    £20.01 £25.00 £2.40
    £25.01 £30.00 £2.80
    £30.01 £35.00 £3.40

    I am looking for a formula that I can use that refers to this table.

    So, elsewhere on the spreadsheet, I want an 'input cell' where I can insert a price (lets say £7.32)
    I need a formula that will basically say, if £7.32 falls between range £0.01-£5.00 (which it does't!) then display £1.20
    So because £7.32 falls between the range £5.01 and £10.00, I would like a value of £1.40 to be displayed so that I can use that in future calculations.

    I've tried =IF statements, and VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP, but none seem to fit my needs. (Plus I may be doing it wrong).

    Any help much appreciated - thanks,
    Phil

    Re: LOOKUP IF AND COMBO Help please...

    have you tried
    =vlookup(cell to lookup , range to lookup, 3 , true)

    where i'm assuming the table is in three columns
    and true will find the nearest lower value

    can you post a sample spreadsheet

    this is in a normal cell, not sure about a combo box though

    If your data is in the range A2:C8 and your input cell is E2, try this array formula. Since this is an array formula so you need to confirm it with Ctrl + Shift + Enter instead of just Enter. (i.e. hold down the Ctrl+Shift and press Enter.)

    Re: LOOKUP IF AND COMBO Help please...

    This would work, assuming your table is on sheet2 in the range listed, and your input cell was A1 of whatever sheet.

    =SUMPRODUCT((Sheet2!A2:A8<=A1)*(Sheet2!B2:B8>=A1)*(Sheet2!C2:C8))

    Thanks very much for your rapid responses. These may very well work, but I don't think I have the experience to 'tweak' them.

    I've attached a sample spreadsheet which I'm sure will help you guys to help me.

    Hopefully the file has attached.
