I would like to search 5 unique product sheets (one at a time) through a drop down selection interface on a separate sheet. (see example)
The search is based on 4 input criteria (length, width, height and mass) and match the closest record containing the next largest dimensions across these 4 individual criteria in the selected category.
The caveat being that the search should add +2 to each of the inputs searching.
This is in essence a "nearest neighbor" +2 problem that loops through the selected worksheet returning the next largest matching record by size.
I have a working version in a single worksheet View attachment Package chooser Rev2.xlsx based on the formula:
I'm having difficulty implementing this across multiple worksheets.
The current formula is dependent on a generic “UID”;
I am using the formula to reference a table that has different packages. It only works if you have your package table sorted in descending order on what I am calling the UID (unique ID) column.
Can this be accomplished without the dependence on the “UID”?
Thanks!
