    Issue with array formula index and match giving N/A WHEN 3 CRITERIA is involved

    I have a workbook with 2 sheets quota and database .

    My goal is extract data from database from column A ,D AND G as criteria and lookup column F of same sheet. and insert correct data in column F of quota sheet .

    I have taken a small sample as the database is much bigger of 5000 rows .

    I used index and match through concatenation as array form. but when I have data in column A and G are same criteria but column D , I am getting N/A .

    There is an issue with match concatenation which evaluate N/A.

    Can anyone assist I am stuck

    I see nothing wrong with your formula. The concatenated strings simply aren't finding matching strings.

    I tried putting

    in temporary column 'QUOTA' I2:I6 and

    in temporary column G 'DATABASE' G2:G6. Then in temporary column 'QUOTA' J2:J6

    They match on rows 1 and 2 but return #N/A on the others. Upon close examination this is correct.

    The entries don’t match - those in column G have more characters.
