I am using Excel 2007 (hopefully upgrading soon) and I am trying to look up some values in a large spreadsheet using the Index Match and i am running into problems with the last match. The first 3 columns i am looking for an exact match by word or number but the final i am looking for something greater than or equal to the value i have entered. How should the formula read when one is not an exact match?

Appreciate any help, thanks
Scott

Here is a small sample of the data and the search info i would be trying to find. Length is great than or equal to the value entered.

[TABLE="width: 184"]
<colgroup><col style="width: 28pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 1353;" width="37"> <col style="width: 32pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 1572;" width="43"> <col style="width: 38pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 1865;" width="51"> <col style="width: 44pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 2121;" width="58"> <col style="width: 42pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 2048;" width="56"> <tbody>[TR]

Thanks for the sample. Not sure what value you want to see in the stead of the question mark...

E13, control+shift+enter, not just enter:
Rich (BB code): 

=IFERROR(1/(1/MIN(IF($A$2:$A$9=$A13,IF($B$2:$B$9=$B13,
    IF($C$2:$C$9=$C13,IF($D$2:$D$9>=$D13,$E$2:$E$9)))))),"Not available")

Thanks for the Help. I wasn't thinking of using the nested If statment in an array, I did manage to get it to work using Max instead of Min. One question, i am trying the figure out what the "1/(1/" is for?

Thanks agian

Are you saying that you needed the highest rate associated with the stated conditions?

Yes and the formula works using the max instead of min that you had posted. Thank you, i just can't quite follow the logic in your statement with the 1/(1/.

You are welcome.

When no data is available, that bit will cause an error on which IFERROR acts with "not available." If a max value is available, say 50,

1/(1/50)

will return 50 as we want.

I fully understand now, because it provides an error because it's a logic statement. Thanks so much for the Help!
