Check number and return code value

[GRIFFO]

Hi,

I have a bit of a complex one that I assume would require VBA.
The scenario involves number analysis and returns one or many codes.

Here is the data I have:
Three columns, the first column has a number, the second column has another
number and the third column has a code.

One data set (Sheet 1) that has:
Column A | Column B | Column C
Row 1 Number Range Start | Number Range End | Code
Row 2 240140000 240148999 MTHN
Row 3 240149000 240149999 CRDF
Row 4 240150000 242199999 MAIT
Row 5 242200000 242209999 WLGG
Row 6 242210000 242210999 WLGG
Row 7 242211600 242211699 WLGG
Row 8 242211700 242211799 UNAN
Row 8 242216000 242216099 WRLA

I then have a second list of data (Sheet 2) that has two number ranges, for
example:

Column A | Column B | Column C
Row Number | Number Range Start | Number Range End
Row 1 240160000 242199999
Row 2 242205555 242209999
Row 3 242216010 242216099

and this is the query/test I want to apply:

For each number between Sheet 2, row 2, column B and column C
(that is 240160000 - 242199999 inclusive)
do a test to see what range it falls between in Sheet 1
and the return the Code.

I would then need it to move to row 3 and do the same, for every row that
has numbers. (There may be many). I would rather an automatic process than
to have to do one row at a time.

I note that there will be many many codes returned, and I would then filter
those codes for unique entries only.

It sound like it may be an Access thing rather than a Excel thing, but I am
hoping you smart people may be able to use some For Next loops or something
to assist.

You can use worksheet function to get this

Assuming you have the number range start in ColB of Sheet2; try the below
formula in Sheet2 D1

=VLOOKUP(B2,Sheet1!$A$2:$C$10,3,TRUE)

B2 refers to Sheet2 B2 or the number range start
Sheet1!$A$2:$C$10 refers to your data in Sheet1 A:C
