selectThe question and visually efficient pattern caught my attention.
While adding this pattern to a project I had open, I noticed
that if you add new values to Table 2 that are not in a range of
Table 1, there is no logic to handle this condition and say
return a blank or null. Would you have a moment to add
handling for an out-of-range condition?
Table 1 lookup ranges include:
Update Table 2 entries to include 2018-12-31 and 2023-01-01
that are not included in the Table 1 ranges.
I would have expected 2018-12-31 to return blank, however
would not have expected 2023-01-01 to return a match of
Location C.
