    VLookup

    Hi,

    I craeted a simple sheet, and would like to select a motor size, given the "look up value" cell.

    I need it to go the oposite way when slecting it, i.e. where "3.1" is the lookup value, it should select "4", and not "3"

    how would i achive this?

    Many thanks

    Hi,

    if you sort descending your data in column A (400, 355, 315...) you could try in L21


    =INDEX(A4:A32,MATCH(L20,A4:A32,-1))

    Regards

    Try this
    =INDEX($A$4:$A$100,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX($A$4:$A$100>=L20,0),0))
