TEXT SEARCH
Govind,
It is not working. The text in columns K and O are not being brought
across.
Thanks,
Roy

Hi,
Its not explicitly mentioned but are worked out by the formula. But my
reference wasnt correct in my earlier formula and hence use this
=OFFSET(J1,MATCH(1,(J1:J100=AF6)+(T1:T100=AF6))-1,1)&OFFSET(J1,MATCH(1,(J1:J100=AF6)+(T1:T100=AF6) )-1,5)
The offset formula starts in column J, matches the given date, goes that
row and then moves 1 column right to refer to column K in the first
formula. In the second one, it moves 5 column right to refer to column
O. Change J1:J100 and T1:T100 to the actual range.
Regards
Govind.

I don't see any reference to Columns K or O in the formula. Is this formula
going to search for the text in those columns?

Hi Roy,
Try this formula
=OFFSET(J1,MATCH(1,(J1:J100=AF6)+(T1:T100=AF6) )-1,2)&OFFSET(J1,MATCH(1,(J1:J100=AF6)+(T1:T100=AF6) )-1,3)
entered with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.
Here J1:J100 is the range with date opened and T1:T100 is the range with
date closed. Change the formula to suit your actual range.

Govind,
The date will never be the same in column J and T.

Hi,
What if the same date is there in Column J and Column T? How do you
want your formula to work in that case?

Govind.

Here is what I have:
Column J is the date opened. Column T is the date closed. Of course,
column T will have no date if still open.
Column K and O may or may not have text.
Column AF6 has a date, mm/dd/yyyy, that is entered/changed depending on the
search.
What I need is a formula in AF8 that will look at the date entered in AF6
and find a match in columns J and T. Then it will look to see if there is
text in K and O. If so, populate AF8 with that text.
