Hi All,

I am looking for a excel function which can select the cells in which the value I am looking for falls within.
for example, On column A I have values in degrees and column B has values which excel function has to find it for me.
Sometimes the degrees I am looking for falls between the degrees I have in column A, for that I need to do the linear interpolation and to do that, I need the column B value from the previous and after values.
I am looking for function which does that.

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Hello, this should return exact match if there is one, if there is not it should return closest from below and above:

Excel Formula:
=XLOOKUP(K2,A3:A14,B3:B14,XLOOKUP(K2,A3:A14,B3:B14,,{-1,1}))

Thanks Mate, this works!. Also please could you provide any way to find the value if the degree lies between 330 to 0 since it is forming the circle.

Hello, I was wondering... my bad of course... Something like this then:

Excel Formula:
=IF(AND(K2>330,K2<=360),CHOOSEROWS(B3:B14,1,-1),XLOOKUP(K2,A3:A14,B3:B14,XLOOKUP(K2,A3:A14,B3:B14,,{-1,1})))
