get an answer based on a value?

**davidcrawt** · 01-01-2010, 08:45 AM

This is what I want to do.

I want to tell Excel that, if a cell value is between 1 and 100, to enter one result in another cell.
If the value is between 101 and 250, enter another result in that same cell.
If the value is between 251 and 500 enter another result in that same cell and so on about another 12 times.

You could possibly use LOOKUP

=LOOKUP(MAX(0,A1),{0,1,101,251,351,501},{"","A","B","C","D","E"})

For a more tailored solution we would need more info - ie what is being "output" (rather than A,B etc...)

It's to work out UK posatge as follows:

If the item weighs between 1 & 100 grams and is a 'Letter' the answer would be 0.30

If the item weighs between 1 & 100 grams and is a 'Large Letter' the answer would be 0.47

If the item weighs between 101 & 250 grams and is a 'Large Letter' the answer would be 0.76

If the item weighs between 251 & 500 grams and is a 'Large Letter' the answer would be 1.04 etc. etc.

That's fine - so change A,B,C etc to 0.3, 0.47, 0.76 etc... in the example "A" is tied to 1 as "B" is tied to 101 and "C" is tied to 251 etc...

Yes, thanks, I worked that out and tried it and it works great.
Thanks so much.
