I'm experiencing a very odd behaviour with Excel lookups and match: if I try a lookup or match for 7.03, it will find a cell, but if I lookup 7.02+0.01, it fails. For example:
| A | B | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 7.01 | a |
| 2 | 7.02 | b |
| 3 | 7.03 | c |
| 4 | 7.04 | d |
| 5 | 7.05 | e |
- If I use
=VLOOKUP(7.03, A1:B5, 2, 0)it correctly returnsc - If I do
=VLOOKUP(7.01+0.01,A1:B5, 2, 0), it correctly returnsb- it's looking up 7.02 - If I do
=VLOOKUP(7.02+0.01,A1:B5,2,0)it FAILS and returns#N/A- it also fails for equivalent XLOOKUP and MATCH formulae
It also fails on other calculated values - not just this one. If I do an 'inexact' match type, it finds the wrong value (7.02).
I can work around this, but is this a bug or can I control for it - how!?
I'm on Excel for Mac Version 16.84 (24041420)
