    Angry Excel index match, don't want blank cells in result

    Hi, I m using this formula:-
    =IFERROR(INDEX('Full-Time Projects 2014-15'!E6:E17,IF('Full-Time Projects 2014-15'!A6:A17="Open",MATCH("Open",'Full-Time Projects 2014-15'!A6:A17,0),"")),"")

    And it is returning values as:
    Project Name 1

    Project Name 2

    Note: the space b/w P1 & P2 above means that I m getting an empty cell. But I don't want it to be like that, I only need is:
    Project Name 1
    Project Name 2

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

    There may be several problesm here (unlocked cells, etc). so, please attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Re: Excel index match, don't want blank cells in result

    Hi. I have changed Column A in te Sumary sheet. is this what you wanted.

    It is an array formula and is confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.
