My Data Range is B2:G10 having 4 columns B,C,D & E. These 4 Columns are ‘continuous’ & have values which are either ‘INCREASING’ from B to E or ‘DECREASING’ from B to E.

Reference range is from G2:G10

Output required:
1. I2=’Nearest’ value from B to E with reference to G
2. I3=’First Left side’ value to the ’Nearest’ value found in I2. If there is NO ‘’First Left side’ value then I3=I2

How to accomplish?
Thanks in advance.
I am using Excel 2007.

I think there ‘could’ be some communication error from my side:
There is NO sheet1 & Sheet2 i.e. B2:E10 is in 1 Worksheet ONLY
It is:
EITHER B>C>D>E
OR B<C<D<E
ALWAYS.
So there needs to be 1 formula only for “I” column & 1 formula only for “J” column taking care of INCREASING values or DECREASING values in their respective rows of B:E
