    Look up for a range, Possible?

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Is it possible to use vlookup for these? Like if the value is 46.1, it will return 9.

    Re: Look up for a range, Possible?

    Just convert the table_array to use the lower bounds,
    eg make it in say, A2:B11 as:

    0 10
    46 9
    48 8
    50 7
    52 6
    54 5
    56 4
    58 3
    60 2
    62 1

    Then with lookup values (eg: 46.1, etc) listed in say, K2 down,
    we could use in say, J2:
    =IF(K2="","",VLOOKUP(K2,$A$2:$B$11,2))
    and copy J2 down to return correspondingly

    Alternatively, in this instance, since the table_array isn't too long, we
    could also "hardcode" it as a stand-alone table_array and use instead in J2:
    =IF(K2="","",VLOOKUP(K2,{0,10;46,9;48,8;50,7;52,6;54,5;56,4;58,3;60,2;62,1},2))
    The advantage is that we could use the above formula as-is in any sheet, by
    just adjusting the lookup cell K2 to suit.

    Yes, except the way you entered your numbers; Excel sees them as text not numbers, just enter the first set of numbers with out the equals (=) sign.
    If you still need the look, custom format Col. B, rows two through eight to change the appearance, (Format/Cells/Number Tab/Custom). Example for cell B2: General"-47.9"

    Col. A Col. B Col. C

    46.1 45.9 10
    46 9
    48 8
    50 7
    52 6
    54 5
    56 4
    58 3
    60 2
    62 1

    =VLOOKUP(A1,B1:C10,2)
