If match return N/a

[Cosmin20192019]

Hi Folks,

Apologies for asking,

I have this array formula which works fine as long it's having data, but if there is no data will return N/A

=INDEX(LiveData!G:G,MATCH(1,(Sheet1!K6=LiveData!A:A)*(Sheet1!P6=LiveData!E:E),0))

Is any chance that I can make this show 0 or nothing if there is no match between two words?

Please let me know

Thank you.

Hi, welcome to the forum

Try this...
=iferror(INDEX(LiveData!G:G,MATCH(1,(Sheet1!K6=LiveData!A:A)*(Sheet1!P6=LiveData!E:E),0)),"")

Thank you, works perfectly.

You might also want to try this:

=iferror(INDEX(LiveData!G1:G100,MATCH(1,INDEX((Sheet1!K6=LiveData!A1:A100)*(Sheet1!P6=LiveData!E1:E),0),0)),"")

Your current formula might be slow as it is searching more than 1,000,000 rows. Adjust the ranges to be sensible... Also, this variant does NOT need to be entered as an array.

Hi,

Just have a question regarding the N/A

I have another issue, I have the array below;

=IF(INDEX(LiveData!H:H,MATCH(1,(Report!B6=LiveData!A:A)*(Report!K6=LiveData!E:E),0))=0,"",INDEX(LiveData!H:H,MATCH(1,(Report!B6=LiveData!A:A)*(Report!K6=LiveData!E:E),0)))

The formula above works fine, as long it matches two of my criteria and doesn't find the third will show me a blank cell which I need, but I have the case where you can match first criteria, but not the second as doesn't exist and the return value for my result is N/A when I should have a blank.

Anyone that can help?

example of data:

Order Number Product 1 Status SCH Date Product 2 Status SCH Date
1000 TESTA Order Entered 11/10/2020 TESTB Order Entered 11/10/2020
1001 TESTB Order Entered 20/10/2020 TESTC #N/A
1002 TESTC Order Entered 20/10/2020 TESTA Order Entered 11/10/2020
1003 TESTD Order Entered 20/10/2020 TESTA Order Entered



As you can see above the array is showing blank on the last product as there is a match for order number, product2, the result is blank

my issue is with the second order on which there is a match or not for the order but the result is N/A and I wish to display blank if there is no matching result.

any can help, please?

Hi Glenn,

Your formula works fine, it does return Blank if there is two match, if there is no match will return back to me as 00/01/1900

Maybe:
=iferror(INDEX(LiveData!G1:G100,MATCH(1,INDEX((Sheet1!K6=LiveData!A1:A100)*(Sheet1!P6=LiveData!E1:E),0),0))&"","")

BUT... Best solutions = sample excel sheet.

Will you please attach a SMALL sample Excel workbook (10-20 rows of data is usually enough)? However, please give us an indication of the approximate number of rows of data you want the solution to work with (100, 1000, 100,000 or whatever). Please don't attach a picture of an Excel sheet (no-one will want to re-type all your stuff before starting).

1. It does NOT have to be your real sheet - mock up a SAMPLE if you need to. But not 1000's of rows!!! It makes manual checking so tedious. Whatever you do... make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!

2. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

3. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

4. Try to avoid using merged cells. They cause lots of problems!

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Hi,

I have attached sample data.

I'm entering my details on DataEntry

The source data is taken from LiveData

The report will show me the details I need, which is the one I'm having issues making it work.

Assuming that you are using the formula to populate column L this modification of Glenn's formula yields either the value from LiveData column G or a blank:

It would be easier to help, as Glenn states, if the desired results were shown and explained.
