    INDEX/MATCH : Finding the Most Relevant Value

    Hello,

    I want to find the value "96" but this formula is giving me the value of "307". How do I find the most relevant number needed if I have the same values in the "Machine Number" column?

    This is a ledger type situation where we record data for machine numbers daily. So one machine number will have multiple QC tests done on them. I need to know the date of the last QC performed.


    Any help would be appreciated

    Thank you,
    Ryan

    Re: INDEX/MATCH : Finding the Most Relevant Value

    try this formula in service log I2;

    =MIN(IF('Service Log'!C1:C9999='WCS Machines'!C2,'Service Log'!G1:G9999))

    This is an array formula so you enter it in by holding down Ctrl +Shift and then enter. (Ctrl+Shift+Enter). Then you can drag down as required.

    If you actually want a date then;

    = Today()-MIN(IF('Service Log'!C1:C9999='WCS Machines'!C2,'Service Log'!G1:G9999))

    Again you will need to enter with CSE.

    Or just take the test date from the service log, instead of the number of days.

    =MAX(IF('Service Log'!C1:C9999='WCS Machines'!C2,'Service Log'!D1:D9999))

    To avoid an array formula ( so you don't have to bother with CSE), this will also return the required
