Hi everyone,

I'd like a macro that can do the following,
in cell H5 I will put a formula, the formulas will all be the same but will vary in size, you will see what i mean in a moment,
I want to take the dat in these formulas and turn them into grath type tables
with headers Low High Answers in cell B1,C1,D1

so this is an example if the formulas,
"=IF(AND(Q6>=21,Q6<=25),1.04,IF(AND(Q6>=26,Q6<=30),1,IF(AND(Q6>=31,Q6<=35),0.96,IF(AND(Q6>=36,Q6<=40),0.91,IF(AND(Q6>=41,Q6<=45),0.87,IF(AND(Q6>=46,Q6<=50),0.82,IF(AND(Q6>=51,Q6<=55),0.76,IF(AND(Q6>=56,Q6<=60),0.71,IF(AND(Q6>=61,Q6<=70),0.58,IF(AND(Q6>=71,Q6<=80),0.41))))))))))"

So heres what I want the macro to do,
go along the formula and find the first ">=" and take the number value after that (so the value beween that and "," and place it in column B (B2)
then carry on along the formula and find "<=" take the number value after that (so the value beween that and ")" and place it in column C (C2)
then find ), and take that value and put it in column D (D2) and carry on until all the ands are in column B,C,D build out like a table

a small example of what i want is:

LowHighAnswers
21251.04
26301
31350.96
etc.

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Yes, when you have a formula like that you shoyuld be using a LOOKUP table.

If the formulas "will all be the same" as the example you gave above, just create a table of the values.
If there are extra conditions in the formula just extend the table.

It's impossible to answer your query perfectly without knowing what the other formulas are. You've stated there are different formulas "will vary in size"), so presumably some formulas have extra conditions that don't appear in the example you gave. If that's the case just place the LOOKUP() within an IF() to retrieve the value you want
