Re: Formula not working

So this is getting to what need I just can't get to work though. I just get
no match. My data is on *** 3 in columns a and b. I have this into the
formula and it still doesn't work. Also I would like to apoligize I grabbed,
by mistake, an older formula that wasn't completely down which is why it
appeared that numbers were missing. When complete though the formula that I
posted still didn't work.

Here is my data


A B C
6x6x4 7.35 14.55
8x8x4 9.05 18.40
10x10x4 12.70 24
12x12x4 14.35 28
14x14x4 20.50 46.50
16x16x4 32.50 58
18x18x4 41 91
20x20x4 44.50 116
22x22x4 50 132
24x24x4 53 144

Then using a pull down list in L74 it should be able to choose which pricing
column to use either b or c then match it to the size that i pick from a pull
down menu in column G74
Which what your formula does I believe but I can't get to work.


Once again sorry about the formula screw up.

Create a table as below: as the data appears to be the same for Spiral..."
and "Steel ..." you only need columns A & B : C is redundant.

As noted by other respondents, the table elements don't match: I've just
copied as you had them.


On Sheet1 (change in formula if not this sheet)

A B C
6x6x4 7.35 7.35
8x8x4 9.05 9.05
10x10x4 12.70 12.70
12x12x4 14.35 14.35
14x14x4 20.50 20.50
16x16x4 32.50 32.50
18x18x4 41.00 41.00
20x20x4 44.50 44.50
24x24x4 50.00 50.00
53.50 53.50
60.00

Then ...

=IF(OR(L74="Spiral Preformed steel galv straight lengths",L74="Steel PVC
coated both sides straight lengths"),IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(G47,Sheet1!A:B,2,0)),"No
match",VLOOKUP(G47,Sheet1!A:B,2,0)),"")

IF L74 can only be the above values, the test for L74 is also redundant.

I know. The comment was characterized as being "in addition to what has

I never mentioned it, but I was thinking Match and Index since the ascending
sort order isn't obvious and may get changed in the future - and screwed up
in the process.

That formula still won't work properly. As Toppers pointed out, the
lookup_vector *must* be sorted ascending. Place all the size elements in a
range of cells and then do an ascending sort on them and see how Excel sorts
them.

So has the problem been solved?

FWIW, I have the formula as structurally flawed in addition to what has
already been pointed out. The structure of the second (nested) IF function
is
as follows (with text and array contents abbreviated):
IF(L74="Steel...",LOOKUP(G74,{"6x6x4","8x8x4","10x10x4"}),{7.35,9.05,12.7})
Note how the last array containing numbers is actually the third argument
of
the IF function and not the third argument of the LOOKUP function.

The following achieves what I assume is your intention. The array of
numbers
is converted to the third argument of the LOOKUP function and the third
argument of the IF function is "No result" (change to suit).

=IF(L74="Spiral...",LOOKUP(G74,{"6x6x4","8x8x4","10x10x4","12x12x4","14x14x4","16x16x4","18x18x4","20x20x4","24x24x4"},{7.35,9.05,12.7,14.35,20.5,32.5,41,44.5,50,53.5,60}),IF(L74="Steel...",LOOKUP(G74,{"6x6x4","8x8x4","10x10x4","12x12x4","14x14x4","16x16x4","18x18x4","20x20x4","24x24x4"},{7.35,9.05,12.7,14.35,20.5,32.5,41,44.5,50,53.5}),"No
result"))

However, the above is just academic since I agree with teethless mama and
think it should be rewritten altogether. Also, as pointed out by T. Valco,
you have more elements in the numeric arrays than in the size arrays.
