    Selecting specific data range

    Hello, Excel gurus!

    I have a problem:

    I have a long list of data (about 150 rows in one column, ultimate strenght values for test specimens, so all cells contain numbers) and I need to select specific range of cells: I need ONLY the cells that contain the values between 10 and 40% of the values. To clarify: if the cell with the lowest value is 0% and the highest is 100%, I need to select and show only the cells that contain values that are from 10% to 40%. Any ideas on how to do that?

    Tried searching multiple forums and found nothing, I hope I am stating the problem clear enough (not a native english speaker) for you, guys to understand. Murpy's law states that I've probably missed the answer, so if the answer is obvious I am sorry for taking your time.

    Thanks and take care!

    Re: Selecting specific data range

    Welcome to the forum!

    Yes, it's pretty clear, but it would be easier to help if you provided some sample data, please.

    1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

    2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).

    3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

    4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

    @ ErnestGroeber, it did not clear everything to the end, as @AliGW wrote, but check my formula.

    Re: Selecting specific data range

    Sorry!

    I changed the file a bit. Another thing is, that in case I don't have a value that is EXACTLY on that 10% mark (in my new file that would be 10), I should take the next highest available value. Same goes for the highest value of 40%.

    Thank you!

    Please try at H4 and drag down

    =IFERROR(AGGREGATE(15,6,$B$3:$B$199/($B$3:$B$199>$D$3*0.1)/($B$3:$B$199<$D$3*0.4)/($B$3:$B$199>MAX(H$3:H3)),1),"")

    Re: Selecting specific data range

    Cursed commas and semicolons :D

    Changed them accordingly and it seems to be working (: I'll check this with other data and see, what happens.
    Thank you, very much!

    Re: Selecting specific data range

    Yep, now it looks like it's working with different data as well, so now I can do that.

    Thank you both, you have been very kind!
