Hello,
I have an issue where i have a shipping chart and want to use vlookup on the weight to grab a shipping price. the only thing is that anything past 150 lbs will be charged $0.47 per pound thats over 150. So lets say a have the weight in row B. B2 = 200. If B2 > 150 it needs to grab the value for the weight of 150 (lets say its sheet2!D153) and then add (50*0.47). 50 being the amount over 150 of the weight.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
We have a similar tool at work and use INDEX and MATCH to pull the rates through.

Here's an example, weight breaks up top (0-49,50-99,100-149 etc) and rates below

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]0[/TD]
[TD]50[/TD]
[TD]100[/TD]
[TD]150[/TD]
[TD]250[/TD]
[TD]500[/TD]
[TD]1000[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]160[/TD]
[TD]0.5[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]0.6[/TD]
[TD]0.5[/TD]
[TD]0.4[/TD]
[TD]0.3[/TD]
[TD]0.25[/TD]
[TD]0.2[/TD]
[TD]0.15[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Entering the weight I want a rate for in I1, the following formula returns the rate (0.5 in J1)

=INDEX(A1:G2,2,MATCH(I1,A1:G1))

In case you are unfamiliar "INDEX(A1:G2" defines the range I am looking in, the 2 means i'm looking in the 2nd row, and MATCH(I1,A1:G1) is finding the column for 160.

In the case of multiple rating locations you can substitute the 2 for a second match to return the row number containing the rate for a certain location.

okay yeah i understand this a little, i guess im just struggling with the references/lookup/arrays.
My sheets are column based instead of row based

So i want the weight (F2 even though i put G2) to match to the "lbs" column (shipping!A:A) and return the value of shipping!B:B
still confused as to how to make that formula you gave me reference that.

i feel like im close with
=INDEX(Shipping!$1:$1048576,0,2,MATCH(G2,Shipping!$1:$1048576))

=INDEX(Shipping!$A$2:$B$151,0,2,MATCH(G2,Shipping!$A$2:$A$151))
also doesn't work

i figured it out!
=INDEX(Shipping!$A$2:$B$151,MATCH(F2,Shipping!$A$2:$A$151),2)
i was under the impression that match was in the area and not the "column" so i just switched rows and columns

just in case this helps people this is my final formula:
=IF(F2>150,((F2-150)*0.47)+Shipping!$B$151,INDEX(Shipping!$A$2:$B$151,MATCH(F2,Shipping!$A$2:$A$151),2))
