Hi All,

I would like a Formula that returns numeric values ONLY if they MATCH the
EXACT date.

The Formula below does work in part. But when the actual date does not exist
or a value for that date does not exist, the Formula returns a value nearest
that date. That is, 31/06/2006 does not exist as June only has 30 days. But
the Formula retruns a value that has a date 01/07/2006.

=INDEX(OFFSET(Data,0,0,,10),MATCH(DATE(YEAR($B22), MONTH($B22),DAY($AB$4)),
Date,0),COLUMN(A:A))

The dynamic named range "Data" spans 10 columns and many rows - houses
numeric values. I would like to have numeric values returned using an EXACT
date for the criteria. "Date" is a single column dynamic range. The values in
"Date" are formatted as 11/06/2006. The values in column "B" are also
formatted as 11/06/2006. The Day in column $AB$4 can be a single or double-
digit: 1, 11, 31 etc.


Thanks
Sam

Does AB4 contain a true date value formatted to display the day, or does
it actually contain a one or two digit number. If the former, try
replacing...

DATE(YEAR($B22),MONTH($B22),DAY($AB$4))

with

(TEXT($AB$4,"d")&"/"&TEXT($B22,"mmm/yy"))+0

Otherwise, try...

($AB$4&"/"&TEXT($B22,"mmm/yy"))+0

Note that the formula will return #VALUE! when the date doesn't exist,
such as 31/06/2006, and will return #N/A when the date is not found. If
so desired, the formula can be amended to trap error values.

Hope this helps!

Hi Domenic,

Thanks for reply and your assistance. Cell AB4 does just contain a one or
two digit number.

So, I'm using your second suggestion:
($AB$4&"/"&TEXT($B22,"mmm/yy"))+0

What does the +0 actually do?

Cell AB4 contains the two digit number 31 and the month in B22 is June. It
returns has #N/A. Should it have returned #VALUE as the 31 June does not
exist?

=INDEX(OFFSET(Data,0,0,,10),MATCH($AB$4&"/"&TEXT($B22,"mm/yy")+0,Date,0),
COLUMN(A:A))

Cheers,
Sam

That part of the formula returns the date as a text string. The +0 bit
coerces it into a true date value.

Cell AB4 contains the two digit number 31 and the month in B22 is June. It
returns has #N/A. Should it have returned #VALUE as the 31 June does not
exist?

=INDEX(OFFSET(Data,0,0,,10),MATCH($AB$4&"/"&TEXT($B22,"mm/yy")+0,Date,0),
COLUMN(A:A))

Opening and closing brackets for the lookup value have been omitted.
The formula should be as follows...

=INDEX(OFFSET(Data,0,0,,10),MATCH(($AB$4&"/"&TEXT($B22,"mm/yy"))+0,Date,0
),COLUMN(A:A))

Hope this helps!

Hi Domenic,

Thank you very much for explanation and corrected Formula. That's Great!

Cheers,
Sam
