I need to compare to columns using index/match but round each value before comparison. Could create a dummy column but that is very cumbersome and ugly. is there a way to perform an operation on each cell value before the comparison

=match(round(a6,1),Sheet!A6:A1000)
I need

=match(round(a6,1,round(sheet!a6:a1000))

every syntax I use generates a error.

Can anyone help?

Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Hi jchenry,

You're almost there - you just need to create an Array formula.

So if you want to match a specific value (cell A1) with a range of values (A6:A1000) you need to do the following:
=MATCH(ROUND(A1,1),ROUND(A6:A1000,1),0)
Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter when entering this formula.

Hope it helps.
