    Index match simple problem (horisontal lookup)

    Hi. Please see the attached file. It's actually a Hlookup problem, but with multiple criterias. So I thought I could use index match match? But I can't make it work - why?

    Hi

    Use this ARRAY formula.

    =INDEX(6:6;MATCH(2014&"Actual";3:3&2:2;0))

    =INDEX(6:6,MATCH(2014&"Actual",3:3&2:2,0))

    -- Array(CSE) { }, formulae are confirmed with Control+Shift+Enter.
    Not just Enter.

    You can also adapt Fotis's solution slightly so that it is non-array-entered:

    =INDEX(6:6,MATCH(2014&"Actual",INDEX(3:3&2:2,,),0))

    @Fotis1991: Thanks, that what exactly what I was looking for! Btw, do you know of any particularlysite that explaines how to use arrays formulas for beginners like me? Otherwise, I'll just google myself .
    @Rajeshturaha: Thanks for your constribution, but I'll stick to Fotis1991' solution since it fits better to my actual worksheet .

    @XOR LX: Didn't see your post - thanks! Sorry if it's a stupid question, but (in general) is it better to make a formula non array, if it's possible?

    You are welcome and thanks for the feed back.

    Take this as a rule: If you have a solution with regular formula then don't use an ARRAY formula!
