    Using Index Match to return a text value

    Hi,

    I have a list that contains figures alongside people's names, which indicates those people have completed a particular task. I want to consolidate the responses into one list to simply show 'Yes' if a person has completed the task on a certain date.

    I have attached an example. The first tab is how I would like the formula to return 'Yes' if there is a figure in the corresponding column on the second 'data' tab. For example on the data tab for Bob there is a figure 3 for 1/3/18. On the first tab I don't want it to return the figure 3 which I could of course do with an index match formula. Instead I want to modify the formula to do an index match however return 'Yes' instead of the figure in the column on the first tab.

    Thanks
