Excel VLOOKUP/IF Assistance.

Hello All,

 

I have a longterm partner who was recently diagnosed with Diabetes due to fluctuating Blood Glucose levels. I am currently in the process of making her an Excel spreadsheet where she can record her hourly Blood-Glucose levels, day by day to monitor her sugars.

 

When she records her blood glucose levels, she is given a value in mmol/L which she compares to a indicator chart, this chart tells her if the glucose level are low/normal/high/dangerous etc.

 

 

In the spreadsheet I am creating for her, I want it so that she can just type in whatever value the machine gives her into the spreadsheet, and then in a cell next to that value, display what kind of range that value lies in. I have a basic steps for this below:

  1. Enter Blood-Glucose levels into cell.
  2. Spreadsheet compares value in cell to values in "Indicator Sheet"
  3. Excel prints whatever category that value is a part of in the next cell.

I have messed around with some VLOOKUP/IF statements but I find that this is not given the desired results for me atm. I can provide the SS I am currently working on if anyone wishes to take a look.

 

Any and all help is appreciated!

 

Kind regards,

 

Tom.

    Let's say your partner enters a blood-glucose level in B4.

    In C4:

    =LOOKUP(B4, {0, 4, 7.1, 10.1, 13.9}, {"LOW", "NORMAL", "BORDERLINE", "HIGH". "DANGEROUS"})

    You can copy/paste the cell with the formula to other cells.
