    Unhappy Having some problems with MATCH Function and cell formatting...

    Hi,

    I’m totally new here so first of all I would like to apologize because of my English and say hello to all of you

    Anyway, I’m currently learning how to properly use ‘MATCH Function’ and so far it works fine, I have kind of a data base and form that puling data from it based on the ID [=INDEX(Baza!$E$6:Baza!$E$777;MATCH($D3;Baza!$A$6:Baza!$A$777;0)) ] and the problem is that it doesn’t pull formatting of the cell, only value?

    Also one cell contains the hyperlink but again it doesn’t work very well, for example if I link pdf file the MATCH brings only the name of the linked file, not the actual link...

    Any hint? Is it possible to solve those problems?

    Thanks in advance,
    Teo

    Formula and Function only return value.Suggest: you can copy and paste the formatting.

    Also one cell contains the hyperlink but again it doesn’t work very well, for example if I link pdf file the MATCH brings only the name of the linked file, not the actual link...
    =Hyperlink(Your Match function)

    It is quite simple, in the 'base' I put hyperlink in the certain cell and when I click it, it opens photo or pdf file but when I try to pull that hyperlink from cell it just gives me name of the file not clickable link. As a matter of fact you are right, I'll make sample file.. give me a moment...

    Fixed it
    F9 =HYPERLINK(INDEX(Baza!$C$7:$C$778,MATCH($E$5,Baza!$A$7:Baza!$A$778,0)))

    It is supposed to be:
    F9 =HYPERLINK(INDEX(Baza!$C$7:Baza!$C$778;MATCH($E$5;Baza!$A$7:Baza!$A$778;0)))


    Thanks a lot, now I only need to solve picture problem....

    Re: Having some problems with MATCH Function and cell formatting...

    I try to make it like this by creating ShowPicD macro:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    and now if I put something like formula below it works:
    =ShowPicD("D:\00 Stampa\00 BAZA\LQ artwork\"&AE28&".png")

    But if i put something like this, it doesn't...
    =ShowPicD("D:\00 Stampa\00 BAZA\LQ artwork\"&INDEX(Baza!$AM$7:Baza!$AM$778;MATCH($E$5;Baza!$A$7:Baza!$A$778;0))&".png")

    INDEX(Baza!$AM$7:Baza!$AM$778;MATCH($E$5;Baza!$A$7:Baza!$A$778;0)) <<--- can you make sure this outcome is same as the image name?

    Please upload a sample of your workbook, not a picture of your data. Pictures are pretty much impossible to edit, and no-one wants to re-type your data for you
    Also, not all members can upload picture files (Company firewalls and stuff)

    Your workbook should show a small desensitized example of the data you are working with and a manual mockup of the expected results.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
