    VLOOKUP / INDEX / MATCH problem

    Hi,

    I wonder if someone can help working out a lookup problem I'm having.

    There are two criteria forming the lookup, a date and a text value. The lookup data range is formatted:

    Col A / Col B / Col C / Col D / Col E
    Start Date / End Date / Text value / Text value / Text value (...)

    So if the date I want to find falls between the start date and the end date, and the text value appears in the same row, I want to return "YES".

    I've attached a sample spreadsheet which might explain better what I'm looking for.

    Thanks.

    Bert

    This works great in the sample sheet. Thanks.

    BUT ...

    When I try to adapt it so that it refers to a range in a separate spreadsheet, the formula returns #N/A.

    Any ideas?

    I assume you mean in a separate workbook? Check that there are no #N/A errors in the referenced ranges in the other workbook.
