DominiqueKohoron Thanks! It sometimes happens that when you calculate a number in Excel that seems to be exactly the same as an number you entered directly, is not found when trying to match it.
That's caused by minute differences in the decimals in Excels internal memory. Not sure I'm using the correct terms her, but that doesn't matter. To resolve it, you need to round the numbers involved.
I changed the formula in BL12 to:
=IF((AND($H12<BL$2,$H12>BI$2)),ROUND((BI12+0.1),1),BI12)
Note that the part where it calculates the next level is now wrapped in ROUND( calculation, 1)
Then it works.
