Index and Match Functions
Good Morning All,
I have read some peoples suggestions as to how to lookup a value based on two or more criteria using a combination of INDEX and MATCH fuctions. I have tried to repicate this myself however my fuctions always return a #NA error. Below is the data and function as it appears normally and under that is the same range, showing the formula. I am try to match a model and a serial and return the result (WO or R). I can't see why this formula isn't working, as far as I've seen its should work on a combination of letters and numbers. If anyone can see how to correct this could you please let me know.

you need to array enter it, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter,
not just Enter. -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Damien" wrote in message ...

Sorry I forgort to mention, I've already done that, it still gives the same
result. Any other ideas?

No ideas I am afraid. The absolute version
=INDEX($C$29:$C$31,MATCH(D29&E29,$A$29:$A$31&$B$29 :$B$31,0)) works fine for me. -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Damien" wrote in message ...

99% of the time, the reason that suggested solutions (formulas) don't work
for the OPs, and *do* work for the responders, is that the responders test their suggestions with their own keyed in data which is an *exact* match between the datalist and the lookup list, whereas the OPs data is a return of a formula or an import from another data source. This returned or imported data most often turns out to *not* be what the OP expected, and therefore did not accurately depict in their (OP) lookup list (formula). There's almost always imbedded, invisible characters (spaces - web characters) that contaminate the datalist, making exact matches unachievable. One true test of the veracity of the formula *itself*, is to manually key in test data in the datalist and the lookup list to insure that there is an exact match between them both. If that makes the formula perform as expected, then the data must be examined for contamination. -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === "Damien" wrote in message ...
