Hey all!
I work in a science lab and I'm trying to make a spreadsheet to help with our data analysis. For each test we run we calculate about 200 theoretical values which we hope to see and when we run the experiment we will collect about 500 to 1000 data points. At that point we will usually manually look to see if any of the theoretical values match up to what we saw in the actual experiment.
So I was wondering if Excel could do this. I would need the points matched on there absolute difference (the closest observed value either higher or lower than the theoretical). Also, would there be a way to specify a range to match. For instance, if the theoretical value is 1100, could I specify to find the closest match within 5 units so it would match up to 1097 but not 1108.
Thanks in advance
