I got the areas fixed that you pointed out. Now I get a #NUM error. i need
guidance from here (obviously...hehehe). This is what it looks like.
In an array of course.

=INDEX('Data Sheet'!B$4:B$103,SMALL(IF(('Data
Sheet'!A$4:A$103=INDEX(F$51:AF$51,MATCH(C$51,F$51 :AF$51,1)))*('Data
Sheet'!A$4:A$103<=INDEX(F$52:AF$52,MATCH(C$51,F$51 :AF$51,1))),ROW('Data
Sheet'!A$4:A$103)-ROW('Data Sheet'!A$4)+1),ROWS($1:1)))

Where does it go from here?.....Thanks....Ben

This portion:

<=INDEX(F$51:AF$52,MATCH(C$51,F$51:AF$51,1)))

Should be:

<=INDEX(F$52:AF$52,MATCH(C$51,F$51:AF$51,1)))

Also, since there may be more than one match, when you copy the formula down
you don't want these ranges to increment, do you?

'Data Sheet'!B4:B103
'Data Sheet'!A4:A103

So, make the row references absolute:

'Data Sheet'!B$4:B$103
'Data Sheet'!A$4:A$103

I have no clue as to what you meant by error trap the formula. Can you
clarify that for me?

When you got the #REF! error, an error trap is a portion of the formula that
"anticipates" when errors will be generated and prevents them from being
displayed. Let's get the basic formula working first then we'll deal with
errors later!

Yikes...you weren't kidding. I copied the formula down, and pasted it in.
I
had to change the cell references to the correct sheet (sorry if I wasn't
clear). Now it giving me a #REF error, and I don't know why. Here's what
i
have now:
As an array.

=INDEX('Data Sheet'!B4:B103,SMALL(IF(('Data
Sheet'!A4:A103=INDEX(F$51:AF$51,MATCH(C$51,F$51:A F$51,1)))*('Data
Sheet'!A4:A103<=INDEX(F$51:AF$52,MATCH(C$51,F$51:A F$51,1))),ROW('Data
Sheet'!A4:A103)-ROW('Data Sheet'!A4)+1),ROWS($1:1)))

I have no clue as to what you meant by error trap the formula. Can you
clarify that for me?.....Thanks....Ben

I told you this would be complicated!

I'm assuming that:

row 51 = start of period
row 52 = end of period

Try this:

Entered as an array using the key combo of CTRL,SHIF,ENTER:

=INDEX(B$4:B$103,SMALL(IF((A$4:A$103=INDEX(F$51:A F$51,MATCH(C$51,F$51:AF$51,1)))*(A$4:A$103<=INDEX( F$52:AF$52,MATCH(C$51,F$51:AF$51,1))),ROW(A$4:A$10 3)-ROW(A$4)+1),ROWS($1:1)))

Copy down until you get #NUM! errors. If you want an error trap the
formula
will be twice as long!!!!!!!!

Hi there.

I've been working on is a time sheet (and almost done with it).
During
our work periods throught the year we accrue holidays (just like
vacation
time).
What I'm wanting to do is compare the present work period dates (I
have
the dates in ms date format in F51:AF52), to a list that I manually
have
looked up of the holiday dates (this is in the ms date format in
A4:A103
on
the data sheet). In cell C28 on the time sheet, I need the name of the
holiday and/or holidays that have accrued during the pay period (thats
in
the
cell next to dates in B4:B103 on the data sheet). Hope I haven't lost
you
yet.
What I have:

Data Sheet

38718 New Years Day
38733 Martin Luther King Jr. Day
38768 Presidents Day
38866 Memorial Day
38902 Fourth of July
38964 Labor Day
39044 Thanksgiving Day
39045 Day after Thanksgiving Day
39075 Christmas Eve
39076 Christmas Day


What I've been using:

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(F51:AF52,'Data Sheet'!A4:A103,0)),"",VLOOKUP(C51,'Data
Sheet'!A4:B103,2))
This only lists the last match that it finds, and not all the
matches,
which
is what I actually need.


What I need (in C28) if the pay period was from 12/26/2005 thru
01/21,2006:

Accrued Holiday(s) For: New Years Day, Martin Luther King Jr.

I think this is possible, I'm not savvy enough in Excel to figure this
out
on my own. This is way over my head. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks....Ben
