Yes

use

B2:B100=$A$1

no need for the unary minuses since it will recognize a date in a cell
without the need of coercing it

Thanks. :) I have one more question. Instead of actually typing the text (
like 5-Jan-2006 in (B2:B100=--"5-Jan-2006"), can I write something like
"B2:B100=--$A$1")?

One way, use something along these lines ..

Put in say D2, then array enter by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
(instead of just presssing ENTER):
=INDEX(A2:A100,MATCH(1,(B2:B100=--"5-Jan-2006")*(C2:C100="Text"),0))

Above assumes A2:A100 contains the number you want to extract, while B2:B100
houses real dates & C2:C100 contains the text to be matched.

I have a worksheet from where i need to extract data based on 2 specified
conditions. For example, when the date & text in one row match my specified
date and text, then I extract a number from that row. Could you please help
me with this?

Thanks in advance!
