How to look for value in three different ranges and return one of three results
Requirement:
The user would like to do is use a formula to compare a cell against a range and then return the value from another cell.
The user would like a formula that goes into cell A5 which looks at the value in cell B5 and looks it up in one of the columns (either I4:I6, K4:K5, M4:M6) Depending on which range it is found in it then returns the value in either I3, K3 or M3.
If the value isn't in the list the user needs it to put the word 'other'.
Solution:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B5,$I$5:$J$12,2,FALSE),"Other")
