=INDEX($C$1:$C$140,MATCH(MIN(ABS($C$1:$C$140-E1)),ABS($C$1:$C$140-E1),0))

Subject: Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ pls help with matching postal codes
actually, if there is no exact value, it should give me next smallest or
largest value- which ever is closest. i tried vlook up with true- but a lot of
cases, it is not the closest. pls check out after u use vlookup true. It is
not always the closest
Best case scenario is exact and then next case scenario is closest 3 digit no.
thanks for assistance again
