How to return a specific data point from a large array if I don't know the exact location?
Hi,
I have an Excel question and I'm not sure if I'm approaching it
correctly. I have a column of data (C7:C8398) which is all text and I
need to return the value given 3 conditions so I wrote the following
array.
=IF((A7:A8398=P7)*(K7:K8398=Q7)*(M7:M8398=0),C7:C 8398,FALSE)
The value is a unique data point (e.g., there is only 1 data point in
the entire column that satisfies all 3 conditions). For example, let's
say the answer is "test". I don't know how to retrieve the value that
I want because the result of the array would be: [FALSE, FALSE, FALSE,
...., "test", FALSE, FALSE...]
I tried using INDEX/MATCH functions but I think that requires me to
know what the answer is. I don't know the answer is "test". I have a
whole column of answers (e.g., C7:C8398) but I don't know the answer
that will satisfy the conditions.
Any ideas? Am I approaching this incorrectly?
Thanks in advance,
Stuart
