Can a LookUp Value in Vlookup be a condition?

Hi,

Can a Lookup Value in Vlookup be a condition ?

 

Something to the effect of 

=VLOOKUP(">0.1",D21:F109,3,TRUE)

 

What i am trying to achieve:

1. Find the first cell in Column D which has value greater than 4

2. Report corresponding cell value from Column A.

 

Any Ideas.

Thanks

    This is because your ranges don't begin in row 1. In F2:

     

    =INDEX(A3:A13,MIN(IF(D3:D13>4,ROW(D3:D13)-ROW(D3)+1)))

     

    and in F17:

     

    =INDEX(A17:A27,MIN(IF(D17:D27>4,ROW(D17:D27)-ROW(D17)+1)))

    =INDEX(A1:A100,MIN(IF(D1:D100>4,ROW(D1:D100))))

     

    Modify the ranges as needed. If you don't have Microsoft 365 or Office 2021, confirm the formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter.

      Hello,

      I tried the formula and got some errors. Any idea what could be wrong ?

       

      The answer for first table should have been 0.3 but i got 0.4. The second one did not give a result. I have tried Ctrl+Shift+Enter as well

      Thanks
