I am having a little difficulty with the Index / match functions.

I have a spreadsheet set out as follows
Date / Time CC Phase
14/11/2008 20:00:00 INTERRUPT
14/11/2008 20:00:00 B13 RELEASE
14/11/2008 21:00:00 SETUP
14/11/2008 21:10:00 B1B RELEASE

I would like to return the CC for for only when Phase=Release and Date /
Time = 14/11/2008: 20:00:00

Any Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Assuming data as posted in A2:C5
try this in say E2, normal ENTER:
=INDEX(B2:B5,MATCH(1,INDEX((A2:A5="14/11/2008
20:00:00")*(C2:C5="RELEASE"),),0))

Max, how come and this formula does not require array-entering?

One more thing, if A2:A5 contain actual date/time then a conversion
would be needed (at least is needed in mine):

=INDEX(B2:B5,MATCH(1,INDEX((A2:A5=--"14/11/2008 20:00:00")*
(C2:C5="RELEASE"),),0))

.. this formula does not require array-entering?

Inspiration on usage came from reading some posts by Teethless Mama. I'm not
sure why it works w/o array-entering, but it does. And that in itself, is
quite an advantage, IMO.

.. if A2:A5 contain actual date/time then a conversion would be needed ..

Agreed. Thanks.
