    INDEX match with merged cell

    Hi guys,

    using my sheet and my 2nd tab (overview (2), how can I setup an index match to say in cell B2, return the data of the first tab, Cell C4.

    So basically, identify "the holiday company" which is on cell A4 on the first tab, for the month of July (B1:C1) on the first tab, and return C4 (the overall score). Is this possible with a merged cell or not?

    Thank you for helpin!

    DO NOT USE MERGED CELLS!

    Full stop.

    Hi,
    I think your formula is wrong with no regards to the merged cells.
    can you describe what are you trying to match?

    Re: INDEX match with merged cell

    Perhaps this is the formula you are looking for in cell B2 (Overview (2) sheet) ?

    =INDEX('Traffic Lights snapshot'!$C$4:$C$5,MATCH($A2,'Traffic Lights snapshot'!$A$4:$A$5,0), MATCH(B$1,'Traffic Lights snapshot'!$B$1:$E$1,0))

    This may not help but All this formula get the same result.
    B2
    =SUMIFS('Traffic Lights snapshot'!$C4:$Z4,'Traffic Lights snapshot'!$B$1:$Y$1,B$1)

    =INDEX('Traffic Lights snapshot'!$C4:$Z4,MATCH(B$1,'Traffic Lights snapshot'!$B$1:$Y$1,))

    =SUMIFS(INDEX('Traffic Lights snapshot'!$C$4:$Z$15,MATCH($A2,'Traffic Lights snapshot'!$A$4:$A$15,),),'Traffic Lights snapshot'!$B$1:$Y$1,B$1)

    =INDEX('Traffic Lights snapshot'!$C$4:$Z$15,MATCH($A2,'Traffic Lights snapshot'!$A$4:$A$15,),MATCH(B$1,'Traffic Lights snapshot'!$B$1:$Y$1,))
