    Formula result will not show when formula is copied to another cell

    I had created this formula that worked fine:
    =INDEX('COGS sorted '!$F$9:$F$249,MATCH(A47,IF('COGS sorted '!$B$9:$B$249=C47,'COGS sorted '!$A$9:$A$249),0))

    I then added an ISNA formula to the above formula in cell L43 and the result is blank but should be 529.39. This is the formula:
    IF(ISNA(INDEX('COGS sorted '!$F$10:$F$250,MATCH(A43,IF('COGS sorted '!$B$10:$B$250=C43,'COGS sorted '!$A$10:$A$250),0))),"",INDEX('COGS sorted '!$F$10:$F$250,MATCH(A43,IF('COGS sorted '!$B$10:$B$250=C43,'COGS sorted '!$A$10:$A$250),0)))

    I know that Excel won't display a result if the formula contains over 255 characers, but my formula has only 236. Anybody know why the result is not being displayed?

    Thanks!

    Welcome to the forum. You have to enter that formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter. When you do that you get 529.39

    BTW - if you don't need this file to work in older Excel versions you can use:

    =IFERROR(INDEX('COGS sorted '!$F$10:$F$250,MATCH(A43,IF('COGS sorted '!$B$10:$B$250=C43,'COGS sorted '!$A$10:$A$250),0)),"")

    also needs to be confirmed with C-S-E

    This will shorten the formula. Thanks!
