    if the 0 showing is a real problem you can

    do conditional format to make 0 = blank
    or
    do an IF statement to remove the 0
    or
    make a special number format to make 0 = blank

    i went with conditional format in the attached example because its the easiest to setup

    Re: Automatic formula instead of a temp formula

    in that case i would use a different formula

    Using CSE 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.

    Re: Automatic formula instead of a temp formula

    is it possible to adapt this =IFERROR(INDEX(data!$S$4:$S$13,MATCH(B$1&$A2,data!$F$4:$F$13&data!$I$4:$I$13,0)),"")

    to this? if so how??

    =IFERROR(INDEX('[Shirt Database.xlsm]Shirt Database'!$G2:$G60000,MATCH(AM19,'[Shirt Database.xlsm]Shirt Database'!$K$2:$K$60000=0&'[Shirt Database.xlsm]Shirt Database'!$A$2:$A$60000,0)),"")

    Shirt Database'!$G2:$G60000 is dates have to match am19

    Shirt Database'!$K$2:$K$60000 is numbers have to match ag1 which is 0

    Shirt Database'!$a$2:$a$60000 is names which if all the above match is should give me a name

    Re: Automatic formula instead of a temp formula

    errrm it looks off
    your index needs to be what you want to return in the formula? however you refer to it as being date match of am19?
    A2 and B1 needs to be replaced with your header down and across

    suggest you post example again or go back to the previous file and break down the formula to see exactly what needs to replace what

    taking the iferror out
    INDEX(data!$S$4:$S$13,MATCH(B$1&$A2,data!$F$4:$F$13&data!$I$4:$I$13,0)

    Data s4:s13 = data sheet - Data Column = what you want to return from the formula
    B1 & A2 = data down the left and header across the top
    Data F4:f13 = Data sheet Column 1 & Data i4:i13 = Data sheet Column 2

    note the & locations to be coincide together
    B1 = Data Column F
    A2 = Data Column I
