    alternative to lookup function and filter

    account no 1000 to 5000 then excel should post the remark in next columnscurrency acc
    account 5000 to 10000 then excel should post pos acc
    account no 15000 to 20000 then excel should post customer
    account no 20000 to 25000 then excel should post latent acc





    I don't want to use look up function as it slows down process and filter will take lot of time

    well for office working I wanted to categorize every account for example
    we have something like this account no 1000 to 5000 will always be currency account and from 5001 to 10000 will be currency account
    so without doing look up or filter or macro i wanted to create a formula which will lookup the value post the type of account
    anyway manoj sir has been given a solution using if statement i will take it

    Re: alternative to lookup function and filter

    wow...no sample...no explanation of expected results area.., no reason for not using look-up functions,even though a simple lookup would have shortened the accepted formual by 25% and increased the speed by about 30%,,,,amazing!
    A picture may be worth a thousand words, BUT, a sample Workbook is worth a thousand screenshots!
    -Add a File - click advanced (next to quick post), scroll to manage attachments, click, select add files, click select files, select file, click upload, when file shows up at bottom left, click done (bottom right), click submit
    -To mark thread Solved- go top of thread,click Thread Tools,click Mark as Solved
    If you received helpful response, please remember to hit the * of that post

    Re: alternative to lookup function and filter

    On what basis is this solved?
    If you have not recieved ( or found on your own an answer that is usable /acceptable), why mark it solved ?
    If you need to match data to other data, you are going to have to use some sort of look-up method, INDEX/MATCH is probably one of the fastest ways, but some VBA quicksort/search method may work as well..
    @ FDibbins - I know I said I would shut up, but ...
