My current custom function is:


Function GetValue(ByVal str As String) As String
With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
.Add "A", "Apples"
.Add "B", "Bananas"
If .exists(str) Then GetValue = .Item(str)
End With

In this function, if I put "=GetValue(B1)" in A1 and B1 is A, then I get Apples.

In a new function, I would like a value of A in B1, to return a value of .7.
In a new function, I would like a value of B in B1, to return a value of .9.
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Try:-
Code:
Function GetValue(ByVal str As String) As Double
 With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
    .Add "A", 0.7
    .Add "B", 0.9
 If .exists(str) Then GetValue = .Item(str)
End With
End Function
