Hello Excel Forums,
I am creating a spreadsheet to help manage Block ID conflicts when adding mods to a Minecraft Server. Example spreadsheet is attached.
Description:
Column A contains a list of available numbers (e.g. 1-20 and 31-50). Column B contains a list of numbers a new mod tries to use up by default (i.e. 1-25). A number in Column B that is not in Column A must be changed to the nearest number that is in Column A. In this example, numbers 21-25 in B are not available in A and must be changed to 31-35, respectively. Column C should be the result of changing Column B (i.e. 1-20 and 31-35).
Issue:
The main problem is that as a given cell in Column B changes, that number needs to become unavailable in Column A for the next change. For example, when 21 in B returns 31, 31 can no longer be used for the next number in B (22).
I have been able to use VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH functions to lookup the numbers to be changed. However, I am at a loss on how to solve the aforementioned problem. Any suggestions or thoughts you may have are greatly appreciated :D
Thank you for reading and in advance for your ideas.
