    Index/Match with Multiple Criteria Dates & Names

    Hello, I have a rotation list of employees and another column that lists out the employees who are out of office on a particular date. I need to create a Index/match function that will retrieve any random employee from the rotation list that does not match the name of the employees that are out of the office on that particular day.

    I believe one of these array formulas are very close but it is still not retrieving the desired value:
    =IFNA(INDEX($F$3:$F$8,MATCH(TRUE,(C3<>$F$3:$F$8)*(B3&" "&C3<>$I$3:$I$4),0)),"")

    =INDEX($E$3:$E$8,MATCH(FALSE,(B4&" "&C4<>$H$3:$H$8)*0))

    See the image below & Example Document of what I've got so far:

    =INDEX($E$3:$E$8,SMALL(IF($F$3:$F$8=B3,ROW($F$3:$F$8)-ROW($F$3)+1),COUNTIF($B$3:B3,B3))) put in d3

    Re: Index/Match with Multiple Criteria Dates & Names

    I think this is somewhat close but I actually want it to retrieve a name from E3:E8 that does not match someone who is out of the office on that date in G3:G8. So it will select the first person who is available (randomly selected is fine) and will retrieve that name.

    I was thinking maybe that concatenating the value in column H could be the Look up value we don't want the return result to equal.

    Really appreciate your help have been trying to figure this out for a while

    Maybe something like this just don't know how to call on the look up value any thoughts?
    =INDEX($F$3:$F$8,MATCH(1,(B5=G3:G4)*(Lookup.Value<>H3:H4),0))

    Try the following:

    Note that this will sometimes produce duplicate outputs, so that you may want to press the F9 key until a list without duplicates is displayed.

    Re: Index/Match with Multiple Criteria Dates & Names

    Thank you for your response. This is super close Is there any way to add more criteria to the value it pulls? Even after toggling F9 it retrieves a value of someone who is out of the office. For instance If there are multiple employees out on 7/3 the value the formula should retrieve cannot equal any of those names that are out of the office, rather it would pull someone from the rotation list that are not out of the office on that day. For 7/3 the values it cannot equal are Jack,Frank,Fred,Tammy. See the attached photo:Attachment 687061

    Selecting Attachment 687061 results in the following message: "Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"
    I can not replicate where the formula "retrieves a value of someone who is out of the office" using the formula and the file attached to post #1.
    Please upload an .xlsx file that illustrates the issue.
    Let us know if you have any questions.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.

    Re: Index/Match with Multiple Criteria Dates & Names

    Still no file attached other than the original in post #1.
    Looking back at post #6 I thought that only Frank and Tammy were excluded for 7/3.
    I thought that Jack and Fred were excluded for 7/2
    I mistakenly posted the formula for cell D4. The formula for cell D3 should read:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Re: Index/Match with Multiple Criteria Dates & Names

    Its still retrieving values of people that are out of office. The list of days/names will also update overtime, It needs to assign someone from the rotation list to be on duty that is not out of the office for that day.

    I was thinking maybe something like this: =INDEX(E$3:E$8,AGGREGATE(14,6,(ROW(G$3:G$8)-ROW(G$2))/(F$3:F$8<>B3)*(G3:G8<>D3),RANDBETWEEN(1,COUNT(F$3:F$8)-COUNTIFS(F$3:F$8,B3,G3:G8,"<>D3")))) In Cell D3

    But this still is not returning the desired value. Maybe would Index/Match/Rand produce the proper value?

    Thanks again for your help

    Re: Index/Match with Multiple Criteria Dates & Names

    Thank you for all your help your answer did work but I ended up creating a loop using a offset function it would add a offset value to it until the criteria were met (the one column had a count if referencing the out of office list) which avoids duplicate values and then hard codes it on to the schedule.

    Sub Loop()
    Dim Answer As VbMsgBoxResult
    Answer = MsgBox("Do you want to Validate (rotate) the list? This will take about one min.", vbYesNo)
    If Answer = vbYes Then
    Range("BN4:BN125").Value = 0

    Dim MyRange As Range, cell As Range

    Set MyRange = Range("BN4:BN125")

    For Each cell In MyRange

    If cell.Offset(0, -1).Value <> 0 And cell.Offset(0, -4).Value = 1 Then

    Do
    cell.Value = cell + 1
    Loop Until cell.Offset(0, -1).Value = 0
    Dim MyRange2 As Range
    Set MyRange2 = cell.Offset(0, -4)
    Dim MyRange3 As Range
    Set MyRange3 = cell.Offset(0, -3)
    MyRange2.Copy
    MyRange3.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
    End If

    Next cell
    End If
    End Sub
