Hi!

Try these:

#1:

Entered as an array using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER:

=INDEX(D2:D6,MATCH(TRUE,MMULT(--(A2:C6=G2),TRANSPOSE(COLUMN(A2:C6)^0))0,0))

Where G2 is your lookup number = 32

Format the cell as DATE.

#2:

For dates current date (today):

=SUMPRODUCT(--((LEFT(A2:A6)="1")+(LEFT(B2:B6)="1")+(LEFT(C2:C6)= "1")0),--(D2:D6TODAY()))

For dates < current date (today):

=SUMPRODUCT(--((LEFT(A2:A6)="1")+(LEFT(B2:B6)="1")+(LEFT(C2:C6)= "1")0),--(D2:D6<TODAY()))

Hello

I have a problem with vlookup function. I have three columns with
numbers a one column with a date in my excel table. Smth like this:


A B C D

11 12 13 09.12.06.
21 22 23 09.13.06.
31 32 33 09.15.06.
41 42 43 09.18.06.
51 52 53 09.17.06.

I need a formula that will check columns A to C for a certain number
(example: 32) and return the date from the matching cell from column D
(09.15.06).

--------------------

After i've done that .. i need the following ...

I need to count the number of cells which have the first number for
example "1" (11,12,13) and then check for each if date in column D
(09.12.06.) is greater or less then current date. Result should be
number of cells starting with number 1 which have date in column D
greater then current date, and number of cells which have date in
column D lesser then current date.

Thank you
