need to retrieve dates from lookup
 

I am trying to do a lookup formula with if then... =If(hlookup("1C",
B1:B10,1,False),lookup("1C",B1:B10,1)

Here is my data:

3/1/05 3/2/05 3/3/05 3/05/05
1C 1C

With this information, I want to be able to find all the cells that have
"1C" and return with the date that corresponds to it. For example: "1C" is
in both the dates 3/1/05 and 3/3/05. I want a formula that will retrieve
those two dates. And if there aren't any "1C", then I want to get a blank
cell or a N/A

need to retrieve dates from lookup
 

Where EXACTLY is this data?

In your formula you use a range of B1:B10 but the sample data doesn't look
like it follows that layout at all!

I have dates from B1:B10 and underneath each date it has either blank cells
or it has "1C" , "2C", "3C" underneath it. Now I want to retrieve all the
dates that have "1C" underneath it.

Are you sure you're describing this correctly?

Did you mean you have dates in B1:J1 and in B2:J2 you have either empty
cells or the codes?

I'm sorry...

Yes, I have dates 3/1/06 - 3/7/06 in one row B1:H1. And in B2:H2 has "1C",
"2C", "3C" and blank cells. In cell D6, I want to create a formula that will
give me the date that corresponds with "1C". For example if "1C" is in C2, I
want to get the date that is above C2. The cell above C2 is C1 with the date
3/2/06. So now I want the date 3/2/06 to appear in the designated cell (D6).

3/1/2006 3/2/2006 3/3/2006 3/4/2006 3/5/2006 3/6/2006 3/7/2006 1C 2C 3C

Try this:

=INDEX(B1:H1,MATCH("1C",B2:H2,0))

Format the cell as DATE.
