    Reducing Nested Values

    To put this simply I am trying to have Excel look up a column's worth of information and if the data matched then it will take the corresponding data in the specified row and place it in the box. For example:

    My old formula would look like this:

    =IF((N7=Data!B3),(Data!C3),IF((N7=Data!B4),(Data!C4),IF((N7=Data!B5),(Data!C5),IF((N7=Data!B6),(Data!C6),IF((N7=Data!Data!B7),(Data!C7),IF((N7=Data!Data!B8),(Data!C8),IF((N7=Data!B9),(Data!C9),,0)))))))

    Theoretically I would love =IF(N7=Data!B3:B18,Data!C3:C18,0), but of course the value was 0.

    N7 is where I would put in today's date. Data!B3 (and so on) would be where the current date should be compared with N7 and if it matches then corresponding number in column C would be displayed in the field. The problem is, however, doing this on a weekly basis is a bunch of extra work and I am wondering if there is a simpler formula to look up a year's worth of data, comparing it with the appropriate row in the appropriate column and putting that value in the cell.

    Here is a picture of the cells that I am trying to grab info from: XL1.png

    Thanks for all your help in advance!!

    Re: Reducing Nested Values

    Didn't work like I was hoping. Here is another simplified version of what I am trying to do:XL2.png

    Of course, Excel only lets me nest so much and I was hoping to get a year's worth of values in one box. This may be a stretch though lol.

    Re: Reducing Nested Values

    Instead of pictures please attach a sample workbook with enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

    Note: Please don't attach documents containing confidential data like (address, telephone, ID#s, etc.).
