Ok, let me elaborate:
column1 values are from 0-120. not in order.
I need the cells in column2 to do the calculation I mentioned in the question.
if the value in a1 between 0-30, then b1 should =1
if the value in a2 between 30-60, then b2 should =2
if the value in a3 between 60-90, then b3 should =3
I tried your answers... did not work.
omanca,
Both the VLOOKUP and CHOOSE formulas are working in US version of Excel 2003. I assumed that you would copy the formulas down to apply to A2, A3, etc.
Are you getting error values--or wrong return values? If you get error values, then perhaps your separator is a semicolon ; rather than a comma , like in US. If you are getting wrong answers, please post the input value (column 1) and output value (column 2).
It is also worth mentioning that with these formulas, values of 30, 60 & 90 will return 2, 3, & 4. But 29.99, 59.99 & 89.99 will return 1, 2 & 3.

Hi omanca,
Here's a couple of ways to do it:
=VLOOKUP(A1,{0,1;30,2;60,3
=CHOOSE(INT(A1/30)+1,1,2,3
If you need to watch out for values below 0 or above 120, then:
=IF(OR(A1<0,A1>120),"",CHO
Cheers!
Brad
