Index-match return value?

[pjkaphlen]

Hello guys, can you help me with these? I have these two sheets and from the data on Sheet 1 I would like to return a value at sheet 1 taken from Sheet 2. Notice the Zone and Weight values on Sheet 1 which has an equivalent Cost for every Zone-Weight pair.

I have used Index-match in order to return the value. However I also used "CEILING" function of 0.5. Which was only applicable for data the increments of 0.5 and not applicable to all the weight on Sheet 2. Notice that some have increments of 2 and some larger weights have an increment of 5.

here is the formula that I am using. What do you think can I add in order for this program to return the correct value?

=INDEX(Sheet2!B2:G5,MATCH(CEILING(Sheet1!B1,0.5),Sheet2!A2:A5,0),MATCH(Sheet1!B2,Sheet2!B1:G1,0))

P.S: Any fraction of a kg over the weight on sheet 2 should take the next higher weight rate. This means the the 30kg should be the reference for the case of the Weight given on Sheet 1.

Sheet 1

Zone	3
Weight	25.1
Cost	$---.--

<tbody>
</tbody>

Sheet 2

weight/zone	1	2	3
9	$1.5	$2.5	$3.5
9.5	$4.5	$5.5	$6.5
10	$7.5	$8.5	$9.5
11	$10.5	$11.5	$11.6
12	$14.5	$14.8	$15.0
13	$16.1	$16.3	$16.5
14	$17.4	$17.8	$18.0
16	$18.2	$18.4	$18.9
18	$19.0	$19.5	$19.8
20	$20.1	$20.5	$21.0
25	$22.5	$22.9	$23.5
30	$25.2	$25.6	$25.8

All replies shall be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance guys!

See if this works.
This is an array formula and must be entered with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER.
Change ranges to match your data.

Excel Workbook
	A	B
1	Zone	3
2	Weight	25.1
3	Cost	25.80
Sheet1

Excel Workbook
	A	B	C	D	E
1	weight/zone	1	2	3
2	9	$1.50	$2.50	$3.50
3	9.5	$4.50	$5.50	$6.50
4	10	$7.50	$8.50	$9.50
5	11	$10.50	$11.50	$11.60
6	12	$14.50	$14.80	$15.00

Thanks AhoyNC! I have tried the formula and it works. Some problem occurred though. When I entered Zone. it already outputs the value of the base weight. I think this is because of the ROW function. Please refer below.

-ROW(Sheet2!$A$2)

<tbody>
</tbody>

</td></tr></tbody></table>

I don't understand what you mean by "When I entered Zone. it already outputs the value of the base weight".
Could you give an example of what you are entering and the wrong result, plus result you are expecting.
Also, did you change the ranges to match your data. From your formula in post one it looks like you have titles (maybe zones) from B1 to G1. My example only went out to D1.

Another option,

Sheet1 B3, enter formula :

=LOOKUP(B2,Sheet2!A1:A13,OFFSET(Sheet2!A$2,,MATCH(B1,Sheet2!B1:D1),13))

@Bosco_yip
Your formula seems to return the wrong answer if the weights are equal. Example: if zone 3 and weight 18 your formula returns $21 instead of $19.80.

Hi AhoyNC,

I noted my mistake, then disregard my posted formula.

Thanks your advice.

@AhoyNC. Sorry for that. Let me rephrase my sentence. The program returns the correct output. The problem though is, even if I haven't input any value at weight (weight = 0) and I tried to input a value for "Zone". Let's say, if Zone = 1 and Weight = "Blank"
the result for the "Price" should also be blank, right? But since the formula uses MIN and ROW function, then it will always output a value even if I leave the "Weight" cell blank.

the output would always be taken from Row(2) of sheet2

Hi AhoyNC,

The non-array formula is fixed herein :

=IF(COUNT(B1:B2)>1,LOOKUP(ROW(A1),COUNTIF(OFFSET(Sheet2!$A$1,,,ROW($1:$13)),">="&B2)+1,OFFSET(Sheet2!A$2,,MATCH(B1,Sheet2!$B$1:$D$1),13)),"")

OK.
You could change my formula to:

=IF(OR($B$1="",$B$2=""),"",INDEX(Sheet2!$B$2:$D$13,MIN(IF(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$13>=Sheet1!$B$2,ROW(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$13)-ROW(Sheet2!$A$2)+1)),MATCH($B$1,Sheet2!$B$1:$D$1,0)))

It is an array formula and must be entered with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER.

The formula from bosco_yip should also work.
