I have a report that's due very soon and I need help.

I have to combine two sheets of data into one based on a few criteria and sorted by date and these criteria.

I've uploaded a file to assist anyone who can help me.

What I have to do is merge the information based on date and vehicle from two separate sheets into a third. Then sort by date and vehicle.

The finished product should show the date, vehicle, mileage, and amount of fuel purchased.

Any/all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

=INDEX('Sheet1'!D$2:D$192, MATCH(A29,'Sheet1'!C$2:C$178,0))

the formula then is very long :-(
=IF(INDEX(Sheet1!D$2:D$192, MATCH(A29,Sheet1!C$2:C$178,0))=0,"",INDEX(Sheet1!D $2:D$192, MATCH(A29,Sheet1!C$2:C$178,0)))

But you could avoid the showing of 0 by using custom numberformat e.g.
#,##0.00;-#,##0.00;
Or you use Conditional Formatting: If cell value = 0 font color is white

I have a INDEX and MATCH formula set to look for certain values in
one sheet and return the data from adjacent cells. But, if the cell
the formula refers to is blank, it returns a "0" instead of just
leaving the cell blank. Does anyone know how I can change my formula:

=INDEX('Sheet1'!D$2:D$192, MATCH(A29,'Sheet1'!C$2:C$178,0))

to return a "BLANK" ??

Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Change your last arg from 0 to "", perhaps?

Thank you Claus for the reply. When I tried the formula, it worked on the blanks, but when it encountered a cell that had a value in it, it came back as N/A.

I want the formula to return either a BLANK if the cell is empty or the value of the cell.

Any suggestions?

if you get a #N/A the value from A29 is not available in Sheet1.
If you use xl2007 or later you can try IFERROR:
=IFERROR(IF(INDEX(Sheet1!D$2:$D$192,MATCH(A29,Shee t1!C$2:C$178,0))=0,"",INDEX(Sheet1!D$2:$D$192,MATC H(A29,Sheet1!C$2:C$178,0))),"")

O.K. I tried the new formula and it leaves a BLANK cell BLANK, but it also returns a BLANK cell when there should be a value in it.

How can I fix this?

the formula is tested and works.
If your value of A29 is into column C of sheet1 but the cell stays
blank, then the values have different formats, e.g. one is number the
other is text or you have in A29 or column C non visible characters like
spaces.
Can you upload the file and post the link here?

if the layout of both sheets is the same, then copy the second sheet
without headers and paste it to the first empty row of sheet1.
For better information explain your layout and how the merged sheet
should look like.

Claus,
The Merged sheet should have the following headers:
Date, Tractor #, Driver Name, Gallons purchased, Fuel Location

The trick is to merge the two sheets of data and have it formatted in a way that merges the dates with each vehicle as if the fuel purchases are in date order for each vehicle.

I've uploaded a sample here.

Eventually, what I want to be able to do is get all of the fuel purchases assembled and then get an average M.P.G. per vehicle.

Please let me know what you think.

Thank you
