so pretty much every day...there will be an adjustment to, say, cell A1 in a file I open

cell A1 would have =random numbers +adjustment

where the adjustment number which will change daily

I then take the adjustment number and offset in cell A2 by typying

=random numbers - adjustment


(the random numbers are originally hardcoded numbers in both cells)

probably a long shot, but any way to automate this??

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
You are welcome.
Glad we got it all sorted out now, and you have a working solution.
