Hi All,

I want to enter a number in cell A1 (Sheet 1) and have a formula which gets excel to go to sheet 2 column A finds the two numbers the entered value falls between then returns the number adjacent in column B (sheet 2) to cell A2 (Sheet 1).

E.g. I enter 847 into cell A1 (Sheet 1). Therefore a value of 14 appears in A2 (Sheet 1)

Column A (Sheet2) ......Column B (Sheet 2)
840 ............................13
841 ............................14
890 .............................14
891 ..............................15
940 .............................15
941 .............................16
990 .............................16
991 .............................17
1040 ........................... 17
1041 .............................18
1090 .............................18

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Try this

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,TRUE), "", VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,TRUE))


or this

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,TRUE)),"",VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,TRUE))
which is same but the later handles any error too
