    I need some help with an Index and Match function

    Hi everyone,

    I'd previously asked for help with this issue and it was solved, but I have new requirements and I can't get the formula to work in this new context.

    Attached is two worksheets. On Sheet 1, I want to populate Column G with info from the table on Sheet 2. Cell G7 should read 0 because the project is Small and in Stage 1 (Columns A and C on Sheet 1, and cross referencing with the table on Sheet 2. Also, I usually do an "if error" and "" to give blanks, but I'm not sure how to do that in an array formula. So can someone help with the Index and Match function and, if possible, an "iferror" to display blanks when there's no data?

    Thanks so much!

    does this work
    =IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet2!C:C,MATCH('Sheet 1'!C6&'Sheet 1'!A6,Sheet2!A:A&Sheet2!B:B,0)),"")
    Not an array

    It doesn't seem to. I've tried changing some of the details (i.e. changing a project size from Small to Large) but it doesn't update. Thanks for trying!

    This one worked, thank you! What was the difference between the two?

    It works OK, you should press CTL+SHIFT+ENTER as it is an array formula.

    Re: I need some help with an Index and Match function

    i'm on 365 office - and i think array formulas don't need the control +shift+enter to work
    I didnt do anything different
    BUT that may be the confusion and apologies about that
    i need to be careful about array & non Array
    updated for non array
