I thought this would be simple but having a hard time searching because when I look up something like "find value in range with multiple columns" all I get back is how to search for multiple criteria, like first and last names, or an address.
I've got a named range (lets call it letterTiers) where each row is a tier of values, like this:
| Tier | Value1 | Value2 | Value3 | Value4 | Value5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | aaa | bbb | ccc | ||
| 2 | ddd | eee | fff | ggg | jjj |
| 3 | kkk | lll | mmm | nnn |
I'm just looking for a function or custom function like this=findTier(value,range) so =findTier("eee",letterTiers) would return 2; =findTier("kkk",letterTiers) would return 3. It could just give me the row number and I can work out the tier based on where the range is in the sheet, or it can reference that tier column, or I can put the tier column on the other side of the range and say give me the 6th column, like how VLOOKUP works.
Another route would be to normalize the table, but I'm scraping the tiers from a website that's updated regularly, and this is how it's formatted. Figured this would be the easiest way to get what I'm looking for.
