Using match but data needs to be split.

From: gyzmo on 22 Mar 2010 05:51 I have a table - Y axis contains whole numbers (1 - 20) and X axis contains decimals (0.1 - 0.9). For each there is a corresponding reference that I want to be able to look up. For example, if I type 10.5, I want to be able to look up the value held at 10 on the X axis and 0.5 on the Y axis. I've tried using the index and match functions, but it doesn't work. I then looked at using RIGHT and LEFT functions to break the components down which also did not work. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
From: Mike H on 22 Mar 2010 05:59 Hi, One way =INDEX(A1:E20, MATCH(F1,A1:A20,0), MATCH(G1,A1:E1,0)) Whare A1:E20 is the entire table. F1 is the column lookup vaue G1 is the row lookup value The formula returns the intersect -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.

From: Mike H on 22 Mar 2010 06:14 Hi, I missed the bit about the lookup value being in one cell and needing splitting so try this =INDEX(A1:E20, MATCH(INT(F1),A1:A20,0), MATCH(ROUND(MOD(F1,1),2),A1:E1,0)) Lookup value in F1 -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.
