    excel automaticaly selecting which range something is in

    Hi all,

    I need advice on how to go about getting excel to automatically work out which range something sits in. Let me explain further, I have 4 ranges of numbers these relate to an hourly pay rate. range 1 (7.5-7.75) range 2 (7.76-9.13) Range 3 (9.14-9.75) range 4 (9.76-10). at present I have a cell for putting in the current pay rate and a cell for range that I currently fill from a drop down list. I want excel to generate what range the pay sits in as I type the pay amount in. How do I go about it?

    Can you explain in more detail what you want? Can you attach a workbook with a sample of what you are doing right now? If I am interpreting what you said correctly, it should be possible to create a code that will select the appropriate pay rate. But to do this we need some kind of a trigger to let the code know which pay rate to use, I don't see anything that can be used as a trigger in what you said above.

    This uses your original worksheet. Enter the pay in the shaded area and a lookup formula will fill in the Payzone.
