lookup functions

[KD]

I need to return a value at the intersection of a row and column when the
value in a ro and a seperate value in a column is met. I can't find a way to
do this when the values are based on a variable in a certain cell. For
example:

If the dwelling value is 30,999 and is in protection class 5 then I need to
return the value at the intersection of these two variables (the answer is
461) but how do I write that formula. The dwelling value and protection class
would come from the same cell's each time but the values in those cells would
be different.

Protection Class
DWELLING VALUES 1 2 3 4 5
25,000-25,999 405 405 405 405 405

27000-27999 430 430 430 430 430
28000-28999 443 443 443 443 443
29000-29999 452 452 452 452 452

You will need to use the full Dwelling Value of 30000-30999 in J1 and 5 in
K1 in the VLOOKUP()
formula:

=VLOOKUP(J1,A3:F26,MATCH(K1,B2:F2)+1,FALSE)

For the dwelling values use the *lower boundary* of each interval:

25000
26000
27000
28000

Also, your protection class values are the same for each level no matter
what class they're in. So, create a 2 column table like this:

25000...405
26000...417
27000...430
28000...443

Assume this table is in the range A1:B24

H1 = 30999

=VLOOKUP(H1,A1:B24,2)

If your Table is NAME's tbl, and set up similar to above, except with only the
lower part of the Dwelling Value range in column 1, then:

=VLOOKUP(DV,Tbl,PC+1)

A problem with this formula is that if the DV is >48000, the values from the
last row will be returned. One way out would be to add another row to the
table:

48000 586 586 586 586 586
49000 #N/A #N/A #N/A #N/A #N/A

(and be sure to reNAME Tbl to include that last row.

Of course, given your data, the Protection Class is irrelevant as they are all
identical for a given Dwelling Value. So for this particular case, the formula
could be simplified: =VLOOKUP(DV,Tbl,2)
I suspect your real data does not have this characteristic, however

Actually only the values in the example are the same. My protection classes
go to 10 and because it started word wrapping into the other part of my table
in my example I only took the table over to 5. In the actual table there are
differences as you go across the columns. I also failed to add that I have
multiple tables. I have made sure that all the data ranges for each table are
in the same cells. I've created the worksheet/table name with a concatenate
formula and put that in a cell. So I should just be able to reference that
cell for the worksheet/table.

I tried the formula =VLOOKUP(B25,'c8'!A5:K181,MATCH(B7,'c8'!B5:K5)+1,FALSE)
because B25 is the dwelling value and B7 is the protection class. I get a
#N/A error. I don't know if this helps. The formula and criteria are in one
worksheet. The data I'm looking up is in other worksheets depending on a cell
naming the worksheet to look at. But they are all in the same workbook.

 

[Sandy Mann]

It looks like it is the MATCH() function that is returning the error:

=VLOOKUP(J1,'C8'!A5:K181,MATCH(K1,'C8'!B4:K4,FALSE)+1,FALSE)

Works for me.

Possibly a better formula would be:

=VLOOKUP(J1,'C8'!A4:K181,MATCH(K1,'C8'!B4:K4,FALSE)+1,FALSE)

With the "DWELLING VALUES" from your sample in Cell A4

Then my first formula should work
