Bit of a complex question this time.
I want a formula in column E that will return a value from column K, based on whether Column B corresponds with Column J - using cell K2 as a guide.
I've been trying to play around with the VLOOKUP formula, but it's clearly not working. Help?

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
For example:

Person A has a Hire date less than one year prior to the current date but not prior to February, so it should return a value of 0.

Person P has a hire date of 2 years prior to the current date that has a month that is after February (October), so even though we're in September - it still counts as 2 years instead of 1 and they would get 15 since this is their 2nd time working past February.

What about Person F and Person I?

What about Person F and Person I?

Persons F through I all have after February hire dates.
They hit February once so far, so they would all be 10.
You made me re-think the value date though.... instead of the current date, I should be basing it off of Feb 1st of the current year.

So now my chart looks like this but I still need formula help to return the values based on the criteria I mentioned:

Do these results look like what you expect?

@dreid1011 I'm going to say yes for the purpose of finding out the formula you used (in case I need it for future reference), but I'm gonna call it quits otherwise and just get a manual list done without formulas.
What formula did you use?

I used this:

Excel Formula:
=LOOKUP($K$2-$B2,{-365,0,365,730,1095,1460},$K$3:$K$8)

You can expand the K3:K8 range at need if you add more years, and would add another element to the array for each additional year added. The array values could be tweaked depending on how you want it to react on exactly Feb 1 of any given year though.
