How to auto-populate a list based on a date range

Hi

I'm trying to auto-populate a list of bank holidays that fall within a period. On one worksheet, I have a list of all UK bank holidays from 2016 to 2021. On another worksheet I have a date range that is variable.

I want to auto-populate a list on the second worksheet to show all the bank holidays that fall within that date range. I've tried using an array formula with index, but have been unsuccessful! Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks in advance

It would help if you attached a sample Excel workbook, so we can see how your data is laid out.

To do this, click on Go Advanced (below the Edit Window) while you are composing a reply, then scroll down to and click on Manage Attachments and the Upload window will open. Click on Browse and navigate to (and double-click) the file icon that you want to attach, then click on Upload and then on Close this Window to return to the Edit window. When you have finished composing your post, click on Submit Post. Don't try to use the Paperclip icon, as it doesn't work on this forum.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Pete

I have now attached my workbook so hopefully my query makes more sense! I ideally want to auto-populate the data in columns B,C and D of the 'bank holidays' worksheet into columns B,C and D of the 'calculator' worksheet (highlighted by coloured cells on the sheet itself).

The data to pull through would be the bank holidays that fall within the date range identified in cells C4 and C5. There will only ever be a maximum of 10 lines of data to pull through, as there is only ever a maximum of 10 UK bank holidays in any financial year.

Thanks again for your reply.

Put this formula in cell E4 of the Bank Holidays sheet:

=IF(AND(B4>=Calculator!$C$4,B4<=Calculator!$C$5),MAX(E$3:E3)+1,"")

then copy down to the bottom of your list.

Then you can use this formula in cell B21 of the Calculator sheet:

=IFERROR(INDEX('Bank Holidays'!B:B,MATCH(ROWS($1:1),'Bank Holidays'!$E:$E,0)),"")

Copy the formula into C21 and D21. You will need to format B21 as a date in the style you prefer, then copy the 3 formulae down as far as you like.

Incidentally, you can simplify the formula in C3 of the Calculator sheet to this:

=YEAR(C4)&"/"&YEAR(C4)+1

Hope this helps.

This works wonderfully, Pete! Thanks so much for your help

Glad it worked for you.
