Find which range a value belongs in

[manona]

Hello hello,

I'm trying to find a way to return which category a certain value belongs in, based on a range of values.

Basically, in the table below, I'm trying to find the formula of E5, based on the value found in E2. The formula in E5 should be returning 3.

*Important, this example uses a small table, but I'm working with a very long list of values to find the category for, therefore I'm trying to avoid the formula (IF(AND(E2=>B2,E2=<C2)),A2,IF(...

A huge thank you in advance.

Manon

	A	B	C	D	E
1	CATEGORY	MIN	MAX		VALUE
2	1	0	10		20.2
3	2	10	20
4	3	20	30		RANGE
5	4	30	40		???

If you have a large number of rows, what happens to the E column? Are the MIN and MAX always 10 apart?

Do you mean this:

=MATCH(E2,B2:B101,1)

On 100 data rows, it's instantaneous. Probably the same for considerably more.

Hi kweaver,

Thanks for the reply. Well I have about 100 lines in which column E is the column that has the values to look up, and in column F is where I want the category to be returned.

My min values are in J, max in K. The increments of the range differ at some points (so not always 10 increments).

Hope this answers your question!

Try this

<table border="1" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial; font-size:11pt; background-color:#ffffff; "> <colgroup><col style="font-weight:bold; width:30px; " /><col style="width:76.04px;" /><col style="width:76.04px;" /><col style="width:76.04px;" /><col style="width:76.04px;" /><col style="width:76.04px;" /></colgroup><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:8pt; "><td > </td><td >A</td><td >B</td><td >C</td><td >D</td><td >E</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >1</td><td style="background-color:#ffff00; font-weight:bold; text-align:center; ">CATEGORY</td><td style="background-color:#ffff00; font-weight:bold; text-align:center; ">MIN</td><td style="background-color:#ffff00; font-weight:bold; text-align:center; ">MAX</td><td style="background-color:#ffff00; font-weight:bold; "> </td><td style="background-color:#ffff00; font-weight:bold; text-align:center; ">VALUE</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >2</td><td style="text-align:right; ">1</td><td style="text-align:right; ">0</td><td style="text-align:right; ">10</td><td > </td><td style="text-align:right; ">20.2</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >3</td><td style="text-align:right; ">2</td><td style="text-align:right; ">10</td><td style="text-align:right; ">20</td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >4</td><td style="text-align:right; ">3</td><td style="text-align:right; ">20</td><td style="text-align:right; ">30</td><td > </td><td >RANGE</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >5</td><td style="text-align:right; ">4</td><td style="text-align:right; ">30</td><td style="text-align:right; ">40</td><td > </td><td style="text-align:right; ">3</td></tr></table><br /><table style="font-family:Arial; font-size:10pt; border-style: groove ;border-color:#00ff00;background-color:#fffcf9; color:#000000; "><tr><td ><b></b></td></tr><tr><td ><table border = "1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" style="font-family:Arial; font-size:9pt;"><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; font-size:10pt;"><td >Cell</td><td >Formula</td></tr><tr><td >E5</td><td >=INDEX(A1:A5,MATCH(E2,B1:B5,1))</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
