OR, use this withOUT the helper column. Again CSE =INDEX(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$140,MATCH(MIN(ABS(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$140-LEFT(C3,3))),ABS(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$140-LEFT(C3,3)),0))

Can u please fill it up with a formula. Vlook true is not working by looking at sheet 1 col c value- either exact or next closest- I need to get the closest value. examples in sheet attached. Exact is first preference . if no exact is found, then the next closest value should be the answer. say if the value i am searching is 220 and the values in the sheet close to 220 are 240 and 212, 212 is the final answer since 212 is closer to 220 then 240. Difference should be less. Thanks -- FORUM RULES (986+ members already BANNED for violation) 1) Use concise, accurate thread titles.
