    TODAY() confusion

    Hi all, hoping someone can give me a tip regarding my date issue.

    I have a excel table of Dates and data values. From C2:M2 are 'Date' column headings and Cells C3:M3 are values.

    in a seperate cell (eg. A3) I need to display whatever the value is from the data values in
    C3:M3 for TODAYS date.

    , I cant seem to come up with the correct Today() formula, so any help would be appreaciated

    Cheers

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.

    Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!

    the formula cell A3 of your example should be as follows

    =INDEX(C2:M3,2,MATCH(TODAY(),C2:M2,0))

    Try and let me know whether it works

    Thanks it worked, I never thought of using INDEX. I will have to look into that function.
