    INDEX(MATCH) Problem

    Hello All,

    I'm sorry I've posted the same thread in a wrong place, this is the right place for it I believe. Sorry!




    I am a little lost since yesterday.

    I've got a DataSheet where I enter data such as 'Date&Time', 'employee' and 'Service'.

    On the other sheet I've got a monthly calendar and also date and drop-list for choosing 'employer' to show which dates he/she is working.

    basically when I choose the employee, it matches the Name and The Dates and Times on the other sheet and returns me the value with this code

    =IFERROR(INDEX(tblData;MATCH(C$5+$B10&ShowName;tblData[DATE & TIME]&tblData[WHO];0);3);"")
    So it matches C$5+$B10 (which is date and time) & ShowName (name of the employee) with tblData[DATE & TIME] & tblData[WHO] and returns the 3rd column as the value.

    this works perfect in this file;

    alltimetable.xlsx

    but in this 2nd file;

    2- alltimetable.xlsx


    when I wanted to change Data Entry information to make it more useful, it stopped giving me the results.

    I can MATCH separately (as in ' Schedule all ' sheet)

    like this :
    =IFERROR(INDEX(DATA;MATCH(C$5+$B10;DATA[DATE & TIME];0);3);"")
    or like this :
    =IFERROR(INDEX(DATA;MATCH(ShowName;DATA[WHO];0);3);"")
    but when I combine these together with ' & ' :


    =IFERROR(INDEX(DATA;MATCH(C$5+$B7&ShowName;DATA[DATE & TIME]&DATA[WHO];0);6);"")

    it stops giving a result.

    I've cheked everything I can for the last 20 hours
    And I am just out of moves....

    Please help me out

    Thanks in advance

    Re: INDEX(MATCH) Problem

    did you array enter it with ctrl+shift+enter?
    =IFERROR(INDEX(tblData;MATCH(C$5+$B10&ShowName;tblData[DATE & TIME]&tblData[WHO];0);3);"") is an array formula

    Oh my god!

    Why does the obvious always take the most time to figure out ?

    I really turned red now

    Thanks
