Formula to have a result in a column if the entered value is in between the two column list












1















I am trying to put a formula to figure out a particular cell in a column if the desired value is between two columns. Like if i put a value of 120, the result should show "8", as it is in range of 111 & 124.

  • Are the values in the first 2 columns non overlapping always?

As the two value lists you are comparing against are contiguous (i.e. the second row in column A is one more than the first row column B) you could use an MATCH function on column A without looking at either of the other columns.



=MATCH(120,$A$1:$A$10,1)


The last argument 1 specifies return the position of the number in the list that is less than the search criteria provided the list is sorted in ascending order.

    Assuming that as shown in your snapshot, the first 2 column values are non overlapping, you can try this Array Formula.



    Sample data is in Cells C3:E7, C & D being first two columns. Enter search value in G3.
    Put the following formula in I3.



    =IFERROR(INDEX(E3:E7,MIN(IF(G3>=C3:C7,IF(G3<=D3:D7,ROW(C3:C7)-ROW(C2),9^99),9^99))),"Not Found")


    Now press CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER from within the Formula Bar to create an Array Formula. The formula shall be automatically enclosed in curly braces to indicate that it's an array formula.



    Note the following




    • Leave at least one row free above the table to refer the ROW function in Excel

    • If you are using Excel version prior to 2007 then remove the outer IFERROR. It may not be available. It just replaces Error with 'Not Found' text.

    • Row(C2) is important in above example, adjust to refer the one previous row before the table in your solution.
