Hello,

I have 4 columns A, B, C, and D. Collumn A is a datetime data set and the other 3 are various other number data sets. I would like to enter a value in a cell under column F, G or H and the VLookup would look through columns B, C or D respectively to see if the value was exceeded. If yes, it would input 'yes' in the cell and post the datetime it occurred next to it.

I'm trying Vlookup but it seems like the greater than option isn't possible. So far I'm using this formula: =VLOOKUP(F8,B14:D70,-1,FALSE) but I just get #N/A as a result.

No sure if I'm explaining myself properly but I appreciate any help you guys could provide.

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Do you want to compare column F to column B, column G to column C and column H to column D? Also, do you want the "Yes" and the time stamp in the same cell that you enter the value? Please clarify.

Yes, a value entered in a single cell in column F is compared to values throughout column B, cell in G to column C and cell in H to column D.

The "yes" result can be in one cell and the time stamp in the cell next to it.

I'm thinking it may be a combo of "if" and "vlookup" commands but my excel-fu is not strong.

Copy and paste this macro into the worksheet code module. Do the following: right click the tab name for your sheet and click 'View Code'. Paste the macro into the empty code window that opens up. Close the code window to return to your sheet. Enter a value in column F, G or H and press the RETURN key.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Intersect(Target, Range("F:H")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    If WorksheetFunction.Max(Columns(Target.Column - 4)) > Target.Value Then
        Target.Offset(, 1) = "Yes"
        Target.Offset(, 2) = Now()
    End If
End Sub
