    INDEX MATCH Multiple Criteria across two sheets will not work

    Hi All,
    I'm becoming beyond frustrated. I have a small input section on 1 page where the user is able to select two criteria (the second list being limited by a selection made in the first). Once those selections are made, there are two other cells that should automatically return a value from a table in a different page. I have tried every possible method I could google, without luck. (Everything indicates an array formula however, still not working)
    I'm beginning to think, at this point, it may be something to do with the initial values that are selected(?). As these are mapped directly from the table however, there may be some rounding taking place that could become the cause for a value to not pass the exact match criteria. They are calculated values.

    Please see attachment to see if there is any sense to be made...

    Anything you could provide would be extremely appreciated.

    Thanks and Regards!,

    Hi,

    use this formula on cell G26

    However with this formula, in sheet casing, you need to unmerge column C and repeat the OD (mm) label e.g cell value C30 = 120.65, C31 = 120.65, C32 = 120.65, C33 = 120.65 and cell C34 = 120.65 .

    Cheers
    Lex

    1. dont use merged cells it at all possible, they cause all sorts of problems with formulas.
    2. INDEX/MATCH/MATCH is for finding a vertical, then a horizontal match
    3. All ranges need to be the same size. You are using C:C, but then use E3:E600
    4. When you use a single column for the INDEX criteria (M in your case), you dont need to specify the last INDEX argument (7 in your case)

    If you want to keep the merging in C, I would do this using a helper column (I used V) with this formula, copied down - you can hide the helper if needed...
    =IF(C3="",V2,C3)

    Your (regular) formula then becomes...
    =INDEX(Casing!$M$3:$M$600,MATCH(Main!$C$26&Main!$D$26,INDEX(Casing!$V$3:$V$600&Casing!$E$3:$E$600,0)))
    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

    I don't think this is a beautiful formula, but it will work.

    Re: INDEX MATCH Multiple Criteria across two sheets will not work

    Hi All! Thanks for the awesome feedback! This works exactly as intended...
    I'm going to take a moment to see if I can learn something; just to clarify, any of the formulas (array, or otherwise) refused to work due to the vertical merging of cells in my 'Casing!' tab? - Once you say it, and I type it, it immediately becomes painfully clear.

    Thanks once again for the help all. I ended up using yujins solution as it didn't require me to change the back end at all.

    Kind regards,
