Could you rephrase this? I don't understand what you are asking.

Like i am having following table -

Region TCH ErLang TRX
BLR 2 0.3 1
BLR 10 5.1 2
BLR 17 10.7 3
BLR 25 17.6 4
BLR 32 23.8 5
BLR 40 31.0 6
BLR 47 37.5 7
BLR 55 45.0 8
BLR 62 51.6 9
BLR 70 59.2 10
BLR 77 65.9 11
BLR 85 73.5 12



Now if Erlang is between 0 and 0.3 then I need TRX=1, then if ErLang is >0.3
and <5.1 then TRX=2. I hope now i make some understanding...

Set up a table like this somewhere on your sheet:

0.0 1
0.3 2
5.1 3
10.7 4
17.6 5
23.8 6
31.0 7
37.5 8
45.0 9
51.6 10
59.2 11
65.9 12

Let's say this occupies cells M1:N12. Then with your calculated
Erlangs in A2 (say), you can use this formula to return the number of
lines:

=VLOOKUP(A2,M$1:N$12,2)

Adjust the cell references to suit.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for the solution but I have already tried this... problem is vlookup
is not giving reults as i need coz it wont give reults with "Between"
comparisons...

If you had a value of 2.5, say, then the formula I gave you will
return 2, or a value of 18.7 will return 5 - is this not what you
want?

Maybe you are thinking that VLOOKUP is looking for an exact match, but
I have not set the 4th parameter in the function so it does not
operate that way in my formula.

For nearest range comparison, you should put the 4th paramter to "true".

Or omit it, as it defaults to TRUE if missing.

Or use 1
