    Without the workbook is really hard to guess. #ref is because the number given by index is out of the J2:n18 boundary.

    Perhaps if.....index(K2:K18,match(U5,J2:N2,0)),1)....is greater than 5? your vlookup range only has 5 columns

    If you are trying to find 3 criteria, it may be easier to use a helper column?
    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
