Index/ Match/ Lookup

[oO P2K Oo]

Hi All,

Thank you for viewing my post.

I am having difficulty with the index/match function.

Below is an extract of my table (I had issues uploading the table via the normal channels).

	A	B	C	D	E	F	G
1	Local code	Age	Universal Code		Local Code	Age Boundary	Universal Code
2	TUCEG	3			TUCEG	6	ABC51A
3	TUCEG	5			TUCEG	19	ABC51B
4	TUCEG	19			TUCEG	19+	ABC51C
5	TUCEG	20
6	TUCEG	6
7	TUCEG	12
8	TUCEG	21
9	TUCEG	17
10	TUCEG	24
11	TUCEG	67
12	TUCEG	38
13	TUCEG	0

The age boundary simply refers to the age in column B, if someone is 0-5 years and 364 days old they should be given a code ABC51A. If a person is 6-18 years and 364 days old they should be given a Universal code ABC51B. anyone above 19 years of age will have the code ABC51C. I can use the match function to identify the Local code, but I am struggling to link it with the age.

Can anyone help me with this issue? Many thanks in advance for your assistance with this query.

If you require any further explanations then please ask.

In C2:

=INDEX($G$2:$G$4,MATCH(1,IF($E$2:$E$4=A2,IF($F$2:$F$4=MIN(IF($E$2:$E$4=A2,IF(B2<=$F$2:$F$4,$F$2:$F$4))),1)),0))

Enter CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER.

You will need to change 19+ to a number eg 100.

Note that + in F4 is removed.

In C2 enter and copy down:

=LOOKUP(MAX(B2,MIN($F$2:$F$4)),$F$2:$F$4,$G$2:$G$4)

provided that the local code is relevant or F2:G4 is the table for TUCEG.

Hi Aladin,

The answer is great, however, if the Local code changes, then the Universal code won't be correct. Apologies, for not giving all the local codes. I just wanted to keep it simple

Thank you Steve, this has worked brilliantly. Thank you very much.

You can name your tables in terms of the codes involded. If you that, you can have:

=LOOKUP(MAX(B2,MIN(INDEX(INDIRECT(A2),0,1))),INDIRECT(A2))
