search a value in a range how to?

[jamiguel77]

A B C
1 1 4 76.5
2 5 7 80.5
3 8 12 92.3
4 13 1000 145.67


if the user type in the cell D1: 3 the result in D2 would be: 76.5
if the user type in the cell D1: 4 the result in D2 would be: 76.5
if the user type in the cell D1: 9 the result in D2 would be: 92.3

the maximum number of ranges can be 1000(i want a solution that is scalable)

i try with if (but not like me)

Thanks

Try using LOOKUP:

<b>Excel 2003</b><table cellpadding="2.5px" rules="all" style=";background-color: #FFFFFF;border: 1px solid;border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #A6AAB6"><colgroup><col width="25px" style="background-color: #E0E0F0" /><col /><col /><col /><col /></colgroup><thead><tr style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;text-align: center;color: #161120"><th></th><th>A</th><th>B</th><th>C</th><th>D</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">1</td><td style="text-align: right;;">1</td><td style="text-align: right;;">4</td><td style="text-align: right;;">76.5</td><td style="text-align: right;;">5</td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">2</td><td style="text-align: right;;">5</td><td style="text-align: right;;">7</td><td style="text-align: right;;">80.5</td><td style="text-align: right;;">80.5</td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">3</td><td style="text-align: right;;">8</td><td style="text-align: right;;">12</td><td style="text-align: right;;">92.3</td><td style="text-align: right;;"></td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">4</td><td style="text-align: right;;">13</td><td style="text-align: right;;">1000</td><td style="text-align: right;;">145.67</td><td style="text-align: right;;"></td></tr></tbody></table><table cellpadding="2.5px" rules="all" style=";background-color: #E0E0F0;border: 1px solid;border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #A6AAB6"><thead><tr style="background-color: #E0E0F0;text-align: center;color: #161120"><th><b>Sheet1</b></th></tr></td></thead></table><br /><br /><table width="85%" cellpadding="2.5px" rules="all" style=";border: 2px solid black;border-collapse:collapse;padding: 0.4em;background-color: #FFFFFF" ><tr><td style="padding:6px" ><b>Worksheet Formulas</b><table cellpadding="2.5px" width="100%" rules="all" style="border: 1px solid;text-align:center;background-color: #FFFFFF;border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #A6AAB6"><thead><tr style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;color: #161120"><th width="10px">Cell</th><th style="text-align:left;padding-left:5px;">Formula</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><th width="10px" style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;color: #161120">D2</th><td style="text-align:left">=LOOKUP(<font color="Blue">D1,A1:A4,C1:C4</font>)</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></table><br />

Also, you can eliminate column B altogether with this formula.

tested and workd
only 2 things:

=BUSCAR(D1,A1:A4,C1:C4)

if in cell D1 i type a 0 or -1 i get a #N/A <--- how to personalize the message? same as: "ERROR te valu would be grater or equal tan 1"


if in cell D1 i type a 1001 or a more big number i get always 145.67 how to solve this dispalying a personal message?

thanks

i am tested this complicated function:


if can check my book downloading here:

http://www.filedropper.com/range-lookup-formula-example2


=SI(SUMAPRODUCTO(--(B6:B15<=C3)*(C6:C15>=C3))=1,"=D"&SUMAPRODUCTO(--(B6:B15<=C3)*(C6:C15>=C3),FILA(B6:B15)),"Not Found")


the problem is, in cell C4 (the result) i get =D12 or =D6 but never the value of the cell D12

thanks

And unfortunately, my workplace blocks file downloading, so I cannot download and look at your workbook.
