Excel - find values searching rows first, than columns from found row

[excel_excel_excel]

As the title says, find values searching rows first, than columns from found row

I have done this, but I can`t get any numbers out on "Found". I wrote 20 and 25 there just so you could see how it should work.

Can someone help me?

Will you please attach a SMALL sample Excel workbook (10-20 rows of data is usually enough)? Please don't attach a picture of one (no-one will want to re-type all your stuff before starting).

1. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!

4. Try to avoid using merged cells. They cause lots of problems!

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Just noticed in your image that you also use the semicolon as your seperation key, so use these instead. Still confirm them by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

Next Lower

=MAX(IF(OFFSET(A2;0;$B$25-1;18)<=C25;OFFSET(A2;0;$B$25-1;18)))

Next Higher

=MIN(IF(OFFSET(A2;0;$B$25-1;18)>=C25;OFFSET(A2;0;$B$25-1;18)))

Use the following formula's. Next Lower:

=MAX(IF(OFFSET(A2,0,$B$25-1,18)<=C25,OFFSET(A2,0,$B$25-1,18)))

Next Higher

=MIN(IF(OFFSET(A2,0,$B$25-1,18)>=C25,OFFSET(A2,0,$B$25-1,18)))

Note that these are both array formula's, which means they have to be confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER instead of just enter. You will see if you succeeded if you see these "{" "}" curly brackets around the formula. (do not add these manually, this does not work)

Not sure if I get it right, Please try

E24

=LOOKUP(C$25,INDEX($A$2:$J$20,0,B$25))

E25

=LOOKUP(C$25,INDEX($A$2:$J$20,0,B$25),INDEX($A$3:$J$20,0,B$25))
