Table must be a cell reference to a rectangular area in the active
spreadsheet. The result returned can be a number, a text value, or a logical
value.
LOOKUP expects that the values in the first row or column are in
ascending order. Ifvalues are not in ascending order, LOOKUP displays
#VALUE! or L#N/A.
LOOKUP
(N,
table)

Calculates the base 10 logarithm of N.

N
is negative.
If
table is wider than it is high (has more columns than rows), Multiplan
searches for
N in the first row of the table. The value in the last cell in that
column is the result of the operation. If the values in all cells in the first
row are less than
N, the last column of the table is used. If the values in all
cells in the first row are greater than
N,
#
NI
A
appears.
The dimensions of
table determine the direction of the search. If table is
higher than it is wide (has more rows than columns), Multiplan searches in
the first column until it finds the cell with the largest value less than or
equal to N. The value in the last cell in that row is the result of the
operation. If the values in all cells in the first column are less than N, it
uses the last row of the
table. If the values in all cells in the first column are
greater than N,
#
NI
A
appears.
