Can I do this without an array formula
 

What I want to do is to mark a calendar with holiday's (by using an "H") the
below equation works - is there a better way to do this?

I have the months starting in row 11 thru row 22 and the days of the month
starting in column b thru af. This array formula is in every cell of the
year as defined above.

{=IF(OR(DATE($AM$10,Brad!$AM11,Brad!B$10)=Holidays !$F$5:$F$12),"H","")}

Can I do this without an array formula
 

Try the non array formula:

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(DATE($AM$10,Brad!$AM11,Brad!B$10),H olidays!$F$5:$F$12),0)),"",IF(MATCH(DATE($AM$10,Br ad!$AM11,Brad!B$10),Holidays!$F$5:$F$12),0),"H","" ))

maybe can be..
=IF(LOOKUP(DATE($AM$10,Brad!$AM11,Brad!B$10),Holid ays!$F$5:$F$12)=DATE($AM$10,Brad!$AM11,Brad!B$10), "H","")
not entered as array formula...

Don't think you need all that, Sandy. Why not just

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(DATE($AM$10,Brad!$AM11,Brad!B$10),H olidays!$F$5:$F$12,0)),"","H")

Very true! Good thinking. That's one of the things that I like about being
in these NG's, it helps you get out of the *straightjacket* thinking.
