Hi Carina
Formula can't push information to other cell, it can only pull information. the result is were you put the formula. A macro could do it. HTH John "Carina" wrote in message ...

Thank you, but I am still not able to get a formula to work. I will try
explaining abain using cell references. I have dates from 1/1/09 - 12/31/09 in C17:C332. In D17:D332 there is a number that corresponds to each date. In A1 I have today's date (today()). In A2 I want the formula to look at today's date (A1), find that date in C17:C332 and give me the number next that corresponds to that date (D) "Glenn" wrote: Carina wrote: I have a cell with today's date, and I have a seperate row of dates.

It would be helpful for you to post what you tried. The examples at the link
provided are pretty easy to follow. From your description, I think you are looking for: =VLOOKUP(A1,C17:D332,2,FALSE) Carina wrote: Thank you, but I am still not able to get a formula to work.

Hi,
Try =LOOKUP(A1,C17:D332) -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Carina" wrote: Thank you, but I am still not able to get a formula to work.
