Hi Guys,
Got a question for ya...
On the attached I need a formula in sheet 'Overview', cell B4 that looks at the name in column A, matches to the item in ROW3, then matches to the name and item in the sheet called 'Data', and extracts the last date applicable to that person and item from columns F:K.
Any ideas how to do it?
Thanks
Jake
I'm sitting in the hot sunshine... in the unfortunately named town of Peniscola, Spain. My head is a bit fried. There WILL be a shorter way to get this result... but I'm just glad to have got something to work!!
An array formula, entered in B4 and then copied across/down:

Array Formulae are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed in the FIRST CELL ONLY by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. After that, the array can be dragged down as normal, to cover the desired range.
You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.
Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...

Try
in B4
=IFERROR(LOOKUP(10^10,INDEX(Data!$A$2:$W$34,MATCH(Overview!$A4&B$3,Data!$B$2:$B$34&Data!$C$2:$C$34,0),0)),"")
...confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer.
Copy across and down
in E4
=IFERROR(DATEDIF(B4,$J$2,"D"),"")
copy across and down
