    Excel Event Calendar Index/Match Issue

    Hi all,

    I am attempting to modify a Microsoft event calendar and I noticed it's very similar to something Pete_UK made in another thread without the multiple entries per day. I am definitely doing something fundamentally wrong I am sure, but I cannot figure it out for the life of me; I have been working on this for the last 3 hours.

    The basic idea is:

    I want the Assignments table on the Events tab to be the array. Under the tab "Month View" I have the bones set for the conditional searching of the dates to match the table and above that I have the test formula I have worked on. It's shameless stolen from the aforementioned thread.

    Any information to help with this would help immensely! I am pretty bad at formulas so I would love any insight.

    I have a multi-event calendar that allows multi-date events as well, attached, that has a default month-view.

    I really like the way you can type in the month and date and have it change, that's pretty neat! I'm going to mull over your formulas and attempt to make it work on my calendar.

    Edit:

    Okay ... So your formula is quite impressive and I am at a loss. I noticed after poking it for a while that the formula stays consistent as you go down the row. B5 is the same as B13 for instance yet it posts two different results. I don't see any place where it grabs the date to do so except for maybe this:

    The way that the formula works is basically on four row blocks - that is why the first row of dates is row 4 - for rows 5, 6, and 7, that formula will return the value from row 4:

    On row 5, INT(ROW()/4)*4 becomes INT(1.25)*4 becomes 1*4 becomes 4
    On row 6, INT(ROW()/4)*4 becomes INT(1.5)*4 becomes 1*4 becomes 4
    On row 7, INT(ROW()/4)*4 becomes INT(1.75)*4 becomes 1*4 becomes 4

    which is the date above the three rows used to display the data for that day. IF you wanted to increase the number of possible returns to, say, 6, then you would need to insert two rows above row 4, making it row 6, and insert two rows within the data areas, and change that part of the formula to

    B:B,INT(ROW()/6)*6
