It can be more simpler by using Vlookup function effectively. Use 1 instead of 0, dont go for exact match
Example : =VLOOKUP($B3, 'Lookup - Source'!$B$3:$H$30, 7, 0) Explaination $B3 ------> Cell address containing Lookup value 'Lookup - Source'!$B$3:$H$30 ------> Range Address from where the lookup value needs to be matched 7 ------> Place of the column on the data range from where the Value needs to fetched after matching the Lookup value in the range 0 ------> For exact match of the lookup value use 0. For the nearest match use 1 (in case of 1 vlookup will Lookup the value in the ascending order of numbers). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
