A Couple of days ago, @Fluff helped me simplify a formula in a model I have been working on. between my posting the Q, and Fluff's much more elegant solution, I worked out a different simplified solution. To simplify the question, I didn't include that this is part of an 80/20 (Pareto) analysis, and the % values were identifiers for the 80/20 threshold. I now have 2 formulas that work perfectly! What I am wondering is if one of the two is more efficient in its use of excel and my computer's horsepower. Does anyone have an opinion, or a way I can check the efficiency of a formula being used?

I finally got Xl2bb to work, so here's the paste! (whoot! whoot!)

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
Using FastExcel v3 (over what is a small data set) there is nothing between them, at a push Fluff's is more often faster over the runs (but not always) but we we are talking in the range of 0.020 milliseconds difference.
