Title wasn't long enough to describe what I'm seeking. I'm relatively new to Excel, but learning fast. I am building a spreadsheet that in sheet 2, I need to reference sheet 1, to find a number in a column that fits within a range, and then give me the cell number from the same row but different column. Confusing isn't it. Ok, I'll try to extrapolate...
A B C D E F
4 S 13.02 1456.74 1779.46
5 D 13.015 1469.755 1792.475
6 4 13.102 1482.857 1805.577
And so on and so forth, this pattern repeats itself, with the numbers changing ever so slightly for about 500 rows or so. What I'm looking for, as this would be on sheet 1, is a formula or macro for sheet 2, that would find the number 1798.565 as being between row 5 and 6, with the difference shown from either cell. Like, if the function says it's row 6 - 7.012
or tell me it's row 5 + 6.09. Something like that. I can manipulate the function, formula, or macro to fit my needs but I'm at my wits end trying to get a cell to do this. Maybe have a helper cell on sheet 2? Not sure.
To further things, once this has been calculated, I need the answer given be able to populate a cell with a drop down answer box that gives a direction. Such as, if the answer is say, row 6 - 7.012, then another cell would read the -7.012 and then populate a cell with a given command of 'Add single' or 'Lay out single' or 'Do nothing'. This would be for a different cell on sheet 2 still, but able to read the answer from the first part, perform a calculation, then give the appropriate answer, if possible... I may be asking a lot here, but any help would be awesome. Thanks in advance...
