Starting Row 243, the zone information changes until row 292. Take a look at the raw data set attached here. I understand the logic behind what you said, but in looking at the data sheet, i am not sure how I would program it? But the formula by virtue of the mathematical operators will coerce say 005 to its underlying numeric value. The numbers with leading 0s has not shown itself to be an issue.yet. Just as I used formula to convert the single numbers to range number formats formula could be used to convert the 3 numbers to 5 if they all have some consistency in the last 2 digits. I was hoping that 5 digits codes across the board was an option. but how to modify the formula to account for that without turning all of the zip codes into a 5 digit code, is a completely different thing. Logically, i understand WHY it is stopping at 83800, or 99400, etc. I think that the problem is the range is stopping at 83800, and not continuing to 83899.ĩ1304 to 83800 pulls the correct zone. Will be quite a feat.Īs far as the error that I am getting on the above with 91304 to 83854. i will definitely look into it, and do by best to format it all. What would be the best way to go about doing this? At this point it is something we are looking to do ONLY for ground shipping, but in theory, would be wanting to do for express as well (possibly have each service on a different tab?) Obviously, i realize that 708 charts at 211 (+/-) lines each chart, is A LOT of data.

But shipping from 91311 to 73301 would be a zone 6.

So in looking at the attached file, we would look at shipping from 91311 to 91605 would be a Zone 2. I have attached a sample of what ONE of the 708 different possible zone charts would be (tab 91000-91899) and what we would want the final calculations to look like (tab zone calc)

Everything is based on the first 3 digits of a zip code. What I want to create is the ability to type in two random zip codes in excel, and have there be a calculation done through excel to tell me what zone the shipment would be considered. UPS and Fedex both have zone calculators available where I can type in my starting zip code, and the website will tell us based off of that initial zip what shipping 'zone' other parts of the country are in.
