    IFERROR+INDEX+MATCH Formula is not returning the correct value

    On the second tab of the spreadsheet, i am utilizing an iferror+index+match formula to return net assets from the first tab. It should search for the fund and date, then pull the corresponding assets. This formula has worked on other spreadsheets, so i am not sure if there is an option i need to check or what is wrong. But it works well when you have multiple dates and multiple fund names in which you need to pull. Help would be greatly appreciated.

    You have to enter those formulas as array formulas.

    Array formulas are entered differently than a regular formula. After you type in a regular formula you hit the ENTER key. With an array formula you *must* use a combination of keys.Those keys are the CTRL key, the SHIFT key and the ENTER key. That is, hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key then hit the ENTER key.

    When done properly Excel will enclose the formula in squiggly brackets { }. You can't just type these brackets in, you *must* use the key combo to produce them. Also, anytime you edit an array formula it *must* be re-entered as an array using the key combo.

    Those are array formulas... you need to confirm\ them with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER not just ENTER so that you see { } brackets appear around the formula.

    An alternative so that you can use ENTER only, is this:

    =IFERROR(INDEX(NetAssets,MATCH(1,INDEX((B$2=FundName)*($A4=Date),0),0)),0)

    and
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
