    INDEX - MATCH on two Criteria with wildcard

    I would like to do an INDEX / MATCH function or something similar for the following to return a date from 'Sheet2'

    This formula works without a wildcard in text string search, however if a wildcard is inserted then the formula comes back '#N/A'. Is there something similar I can use? SUMPRODUCT?

    In attached file I have included TABLE 1 (Wildcard Formula) and TABLE 2 (No Wildcard Formula) to show it works without a wildcard.

    EDIT: FYI my separators I use is | since I use various codes in MS project as well. Use normal comma's and I'll transfer anything over. Sorry for any confusion.

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Try it like this...

    =INDEX(Sheet2!$A$4:$E$14,MATCH(1,(Sheet2!$A$5:$A$14=Sheet1!C6)*ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Work",Sheet2!$B$5:$B$14)),0),3)

    Still array entered.
