    Simplify formula to allow more conditions

    Any help appreciated!

    I am using the following code:

    Which works fine except I actually need it to look if I1= upto 42, which generates way too much code! Is there a simpler way of doing this?

    Many thanks!

    Re: Simplify my code please

    Why not just

    =VLOOKUP(H5,Points,I1+1,FALSE)
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    "Code" is the wrong term, this isn't VBA, it's just a formula.

    Try this:

    =VLOOKUP(H5, Points, I1 + 1, FALSE)
