Hello,

I would like to compare cells A1, B1, C1, D1 with cell F1. I would like to copy the value of the Cell from A1, B1, C1, D1 that is closest to the value of cell F1. Any ideas on how to do this in vba or with some crazy functions. I could do the comparisons manually, but who wants to do that.

Thanks

=IF(ABS(F1-A1)<=MIN(ABS(F1-B1),ABS(F1-C1),ABS(F1-D1)), A1,IF(ABS(F1-B1)<=MIN(ABS(F1-A1),ABS(F1-C1),ABS(F1-D1)),B1,IF(ABS(F1-C1)<=MIN(ABS(F1-A1),ABS(F1-B1),ABS(F1-D1)),C1,D1)))
