    Index/Match Excel Formula assistance required

    Have just joined the forum and would appreciate some help.

    I have a sheet (attached) containing data of persons occupying properties and their dates of occupation. Each property is listed across the top of the sheet and the occupants filled in against their dates of stay.

    I would like to put a formula on the analysis sheet in the shaded cells so that when i key a property code into (cell c3) for any property then it would copy across the occupants for that property on each date. I have tried index and match as =INDEX(analysis!b5:f5,MATCH($c$3,analysis!$b$3:$f$3)) but it either picks up the wrong property or nothing at all.

    Is this the correct formula usage or is there another formula that I should be using.

    Hi
    I'm afraid you'll have to adapt your thread title to forum rules ( more descriptive) before getting help

    Thanks for changing your thread title

    You need a zero as third argument in the MATCH function, i.e. like this

    =INDEX(Analysis!B5:F5,MATCH($C$3,Analysis!$B$3:$F$3,0))&""

    Although that doesn't check the dates explicitly , just assumes that the dates in A6 down match those in the table - if you want to explicitly check dates too then try this version

    =INDEX(Data!B$5:F$21,MATCH(A6,Data!A$5:A$21,0),MATCH(C$3,Data!B$3:F$3,0))&""
