    Index Match formula not quite working.

    Hi,

    i am struggling with the code below. For the first cell it keeps returning a number that is not in my data, if i drag the cell down all the cells after are correct, just seems to be the first line?

    I have added the file so you can see what i am trying to do, i would really apprecaite any help.

    Try this array formula
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    ***Array formula
    ...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.

    tRY

    M10=IFERROR(INDEX(Blank1!$F$2:$F$248,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($M$9:M9,IF(Blank1!$F$2:$F$248<>0,Blank1!$F$2:$F$248,"")),0)),"") AND DRAG DOWN

    You should get rid of the merged cells. COUNTIF(M$8:M8 should be COUNTIF(M$9:M9. Never use merged cells that are involved in formula calculations.
