Yes, but i had the columns wrong. Now I get the result 114541 (or 07/08/2213
in date format) on a birthday of 30/11/1938

Oh right. I have the name in column F, and DOB in M, so i can fix that.
Presumabbly the range have $ in for when I copy it down.

What should the outcome show? I'm just getting #N/A (and i'm using a test
sheet so have fixed the DOB to be today's date (not year, obviously)).

No, I am testing the month and the day, so it should be N each time.

Presumably the N1:200 that you have there twice should be M?

"Bob Phillips" wrote:

=INDEX(M1:M200,MATCH(1,(MONTH(TODAY())=MONTH(N1:N2 00))*(DAY(TODAY())=DAY(N1:N200)),0))

where I am assuming the names are in column M, the birthdays .

This is an array formula, so commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not just
Enter

I have a list of names with date of birth, how do I work out if today
is
someone's birthday?

It may seem easy just to scan through the list to spot the right
day,
but
I've got 15000 lines, so that's not really an option!

Thanks in advance
