    #N/A Error for INDEX MATCH function.

    Hi Friends,

    I am getting #N/A error while using INDEX MATCH function. The reason for this is that the cell for the lookup_value has a formula. If I remove the formula in lookup_value cell the INDEX MATCH function works well!!

    How can I fix this problem.

    Thanks,

    Re: #N/A Error for INDEX MATCH function.

    what is the value in the cell with the formula ?

    what result does that formula return, that should be what the index/match will be looking for
    if theres an error , than index match will return an error

    Hi Wayne,

    The value in cell with formula is numeric and the format is general. I have tried changing the format. But I still get the #N/A error. I have given the screenshot below. The INDEX formula is in A6 and the cell with value is U6.
