Re: Value between 2 dates

You need to create a clearer description of your problem in order to get the
solution you are looking for. Try to simplify your problem, preferably focusing
on one row. Normally when you get the solution for one row, you can copy down
for the rest.

Another useful technique is to ask for one solution at a time. For example,
create another post solely for your date lookup problem. This will help you
specify the problem more clearly. For example, if "A & C may not always match
the dates in the lookup ranges", then tell us what the rules are so they will
always match.

It looks to me like you are trying to calculate the shares resulting from a
dividend reinvestment program. Is this correct? If so, why does F3 (presumably
for a dividend declared between 2/6/99 {is 2/16/99 a typo?} and 2/12/99) extract
a price of 15.94 when that occurred on 3/12/99? Is 3/12/99 the dividend
reinvestment date? If so, then I think you will need to add this date to your
row. This will then allow you to look it up.

Hope this helps.
