need help with creating a formula which checks more than 40 cells

[Faizan]

Dear Heros,

I am working on setting up salaries for emplyees based on new pay and grade
system.

the Pay and Grade system is organized to have 8 grades and each with 5 steps
which means total of 40 steps and for each step there is a different salary
which means 40 different salaries.

The worksheet contains numbers from 1 to 40 as steps in (A1:AN1) as column
headers.

I would like a formula in AO2 to calculate or show the salary of a specific
cell in which I put "1". (for example if i put 1 in cell (J2) it should show
me 190)

the salary can be 100 for step one 110 for step2, 120 for step3, 130 for
step4 and so on.


Thanks for your cooperation in advance


Regards,


Faizan Ahmad

Hi Faizan,

You may use Lookup function to achieve this result. Here is example to
use in cell AO2:

=LOOKUP(1,A2:AN2,A1:AN1)

Let me know if it helps you.
