    Index Match Offset Query

    HI Friends,

    Could you please kindly refer the attached worksheet and help frame a formula ? I'm guessing index match is a good one to use. If there is anything easier, would be really great. Thanks heaps

    Your data in Data Sheet is not great to work with..
    Do this..
    Delete (Clear contents) of all non-numeric (text) values in Columns C,D,E,F of Data Sheet.

    then in Cell C5 of Sheet 1 use

    Re: Index Match Offset Query

    HI Ace,

    Is there a short cut to delete the non numeric values ? or do i have to manually delete text values ?

    Would have been great, if there was a way to go around it, that is, without deleting any values, as i do this report regularly every month, I can copy paste the raw data on to the data sheet every month

    Re: Index Match Offset Query

    hi Joseph. to delete the texts,
    1. select Column C:F of Data SHeet.
    2. press CTRL + G
    3. press Special
    4. select Constants & check only the Text
    5. press OK
    6. press DEL

    without having to delete, use this array formula in C8:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    my answers are different from yours though, but same with Ace_XL's. so do check. mine will take up more resources & make the file slower, being an array formula. if possible, use Ace_XL's solution. to counter errors:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    not sure if you need to separate the formula like in the other thread

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.

    Re: Index Match Offset Query

    Hi Benishriyo, Thanks heaps.

    Can i use the same formula for columns F to K (no multiply by 30 and all ) ? As they are different to columns B to E (multiply by 30) . As mentioned in the comments in the spreadsheet.
    I tried to use the formula and it is giving me differnet answers as you said. i will have a look again.

    In G8

    =SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH($A8,'Data SHeet'!$A$10:$A$600)))*(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(F$5,'Data SHeet'!$B$10:$B$600)))*'Data SHeet'!$I$10:$I$600)

    Delete the non-numeric stuff first though
