    Search rows in a table with uneven rows

    A B C D E F
    1 A B C D E
    2 40 5 15 25 30 40
    3 50 0 10 15 25
    4 60 0 10 15
    5 70 0 5

    user input 1 (refers to column A): 50
    user input 2 (refers to a value in the table associated with user input1): 17

    The table above is an example of that data I'm working with. What I want to do is, based upon user input1 and user input2, find the corresponding letter. In this example, user input1 is 50 so row 3 is selected. User input2 is 17. Find an equal or next largest value in row 3. That would be 25 and the corresponding letter is D.

    I know how to do this with rows of equal length but not unequal.

    Assuming your table is in C1:H5 with header letters starting at D1 and vertical numbers starting at C2, And A1, B1 contain your inputs...then try:

    =INDEX($D$1:$H$5,1,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX($D$2:$H$5,MATCH(A1,$C$2:$C$5,0),0)>=B1,0))

    confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER not just ENTER
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
