    Find answer that matches

    Hey all just need some help, is there a way to search for matching date (cell G2) and output the only one with text in it (column C that also matches date in column A)
    there will only ever be 1 answer under each date in column C.

    Take a look at this hopefully makes more sense.

    Thanks

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    An Excel array entered formula that would do this is: =INDEX(C2:C28,MATCH(1,(A2:A28=G2)*(C2:C28<>""),0))
    I believe that in Google sheets this would be accomplished by wrapping the INDEX function with an ARRAYFORMULA function.
