I want to match H2 & I2 to columns A3:A5 & B3:B5 and in J3 I want to be able round to the nearest number like in this case it would be 100. In J6 it would show a BMI of 21. If J2 was 97 then the BMI would be 20.
Anyone know how to do that?

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Isn't there a direct calculation you can do to get BMI based on height and weight? You could calculate without a table.....i.e.

=ROUND(J2*4.88/(H2+I2/12)^2,0)

although I can't guarantee that will give you the same results as your table in all cases.

Using the table you can use this formula in J6

=INDEX(C1:F1,MATCH(MIN(ABS(INDEX(C3:F5,MATCH(1,(A3:A5=H2)*(B3:B5=I2),0),0)-J2)),ABS(INDEX(C3:F5,MATCH(1,(A3:A5=H2)*(B3:B5=I2),0),0)-J2),0))

confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

There might be a calculation but I don't know of one. The table formula is working great..thanks

FYI the formula is this..

BMI = W*703/H^2, W in pounds, H in inches

That was essentially the formula I suggested, i.e.

=ROUND(J2*4.88/(H2+I2/12)^2,0)

because feet are squared in my version rather than inches then multiplier is 4.88 rather than 703 because

144*4.88= 703 [almost]

to revise that formula for your version

=ROUND(J2*703/(H2*12+I2)^2,0)
