[QUOTE="Heretic Apostate, post: 1125610, member: 696"] Silveras, are you sure about the TRUE part? If I recall correctly (and I am sure I do :) ), if the last space is marked TRUE or omitted altogether, you get either the number you selected, or the highest number below it, or an error function. With FALSE, it'll get either the number you select, or an error function. For instance, with a table of: 1, Apple 5, Orange 10, Grapes If you look up 6 with TRUE, you'll get Orange. If you look it up with FALSE, you'll get an error statement. What's the CStr function, anyway? Is it a way of converting the number to text? I would have used the TEXT([CR cell],"#") function. Though that would have required a concantate (sp?) of "CR"&TEXT([CR Cell],"#"). Does adding work with text? Dang, I miss digging into Excel. I think the time is coming where I'll have to break out the old books and dig some more. :) VLOOKUP, SUMIF, and a few others are my most used formulas within Excel... I'm [u]trying[/u] to branch out, but these are the classics... Though I'd LOVE to see those German functions. Are they in XP? Edit: Oh, yeah, another difference between TRUE and FALSE. With TRUE, the reference numbers (1, 5, 10 in my example) [b][u]have[/u][/b] to be in ascending order. If it were 1, 10, 5, instead, searching for 6 would have returned Apple instead (I think). Basically, TRUE down the list until it reaches a point where it has either reached or passed the reference it's looking for. With FALSE, because it's looking for [i]exactly[/i] that reference, it doesn't have to be in order. I think it only picks up the first occurrence, however... [/QUOTE]
