Using 8/23/2005 with INDEX, MATCH, VLOOKUP and IF
Hello all,
This is freakin' me out! Is there some issue with using the date 8/23/2005 (38587) with these 2 formulae: =INDEX(DateList,MATCH(B58,DateList,1)) =IF(VLOOKUP($A58,RatesTable,COLUMN()-1,0)="","",VLOOKUP($A58,RatesTable,COLUMN()-1,0)) when ever the date of 8/23/2005 is used, the results in the IF cell is blank. When I use 8/24/2005 or 8/22/2005, the correct results is returned. I have run this Excel 2002 SP3 and in Excel 2003 SP2 and the results are the same in both. If anyone is interested in the file, you can find it he http://home.att.net/~ctbarbarin/file...ups_sample.xls The 2 cells (results cell and the date cell) are highlighted in yellow and they also have names: "ProblemDate" and "ProblemResults". I am really curious to know why these formulae are causing this issue with this date. I would like to know if this behaves the same way on other people's machines. Also, if anyone has a better way of accomplishing what I'm doing here, I'm all ears. Thanks for any help anyone can provide, Conan Kelly |

Hi!
You have a "typo date" ? Look at sheet AvgDepositRates cell A124 That's what your lookup is matching! Biff "Conan Kelly" <CTBarbarin at msn dot com wrote in message ...

Using 8/23/2005 with INDEX, MATCH, VLOOKUP and IF
Biff,
Thanks for the feedback. I never would have thought of that. I used the IF/VLOOKUP combination before, but that was the first time that I used the INDEX and MATCH functions. After reading all of the help files on these 2 functions, I managed to get them to do what I wanted them to. I thought that the problem may have been with the INDEX/MATCH combo. That goes to show that you can't assume that other people's data is correct. Thanks again for all of your help, Conan "Biff" wrote in message ... Hi! You have a "typo date" ?
