Not in my test in didn't Bernie, I had abc next to it, and that was what it
returned, until I removed the +1. Odd!

Bob,

Actually, your version simply returns the "CWS" value, not the value to
the
right, which is why I used the +1. To remove the +1, you need to index
the
first offset:


=INDEX(OFFSET(INDEX(A:A,MATCH(F7,A:A,FALSE)),0,1,1 ,255),MATCH("CWS",OFFSET(I
NDEX(A:A,MATCH(F7,A:A,FALSE)),0,0,1,256)))

Note the change to 0,1,1,255 from 0,0,1,256.

Hi Bernie,

By using OFFSET, you don't need the +1 do you?



=INDEX(OFFSET(INDEX(A:A,MATCH(F7,A:A,FALSE)),0,0,1 ,256),MATCH("CWS",OFFSET(I
NDEX(A:A,MATCH(F7,A:A,FALSE)),0,0,1,256)))

Larry,




=INDEX(OFFSET(INDEX(Database!A:A,MATCH(F7,Database !A:A,FALSE)),0,0,1,256),MA



TCH("CWS",OFFSET(INDEX(Database!A:A,MATCH(F7,Datab ase!A:A,FALSE)),0,0,1,256)
)+1)

All on one line.

I want to look down a column until I find a value eg. 10/May/05
I want to look across that row until I find a value eg. "CWS" and
then
return
the value of the cell one to the right of the cell containing "CWS".
I tried to use a use a lookup formula containing a match formula to
find
the
column
but the match formula requires a specified range. In my cenario my
range
varies
depending upon the date selected. This range needs to be specific
to
one
row but change depending upon the row selected.
Here is the formula I came up with but doesn't work because the
range
in
the
match section is rigid.
=(VLOOKUP(F7,Database!$A:$AQ,
(MATCH("CWS",Database!A6:AQ6,0))+1,FALSE))
The range to look in always covers the same columns but only covers
one
row
and that row is specific to the date looked up.
any Ideas
