    Match Function Doesn't Find Values

    I've been using a Index and Match Functions to locate values,

    What I'm trying to do is as follows:

    Column A contains x values and Column B contains another value

    A length is entered at the top of the worksheet, when the x value is greater than half the length the values will be mirrored about the centre point.

    To do this i'm doing x-(length/2) to give the corresponding value of x on the other side of the length

    I can do the If functions etc to sort all this out, but the match function isnt working, see attached, it isn't finding values which are in the list, when i use 0 for exact match, i've tried using 1 but it still isn't finding the correct values.

    Can anyone help with whats going on?

    It's a precision quirk with Excel when comparing formula results with hard-entered numbers...

    Try:

    =MATCH(ROUND(C24,2),$A$1:$A$63,0)
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
