match function with nested if
I'm trying to use the match function with a nested if statement. Is this possible? My table looks like the following. Column D E F G H UNIT TERM STARTDATE ENDDATE RATE 21843 2 2/1/2009 2/7/2009 1350 21843 3 2/1/2009 2/7/2009 1040 21843 4 2/1/2009 2/7/2009 1015 21843 2 2/8/2009 2/14/2009 1350 21843 3 2/8/2009 2/14/2009 1040 21843 4 2/8/2009 2/14/2009 1015 19608 2 3/1/2009 3/7/2009 2055 19608 3 3/8/2009 3/15/2009 1725 19608 4 3/22/2009 3/29/2009 1670 I need the user to enter a value for the unit, term and date and have excel return the matching value in the rate column. The problem is that the date which is entered by the user will be inbetween the StartDate and EndDate values which are in the table. I'm trying to use the match function with a nested if statement to determine if the date is within the StartDate and EndDate range. If it is, the match function should use the date in the StartDate column. For example, User enters a unit in cell A5 = 19608 User enters a date in cell A9 3/10/2009 Term is hard coded as a value 3. Using the table above, I'd like excel to return the value 1725 My formula is =INDEX($H$2:$H$10,MATCH(1,($D$2:$D$10=$A$5)*($E$2: $E$10=3)*($F$2:$F$10 =IF(AND($A$9=F3, $A$9<=G3),0,F3)),0)) However, my formula doesn't work. Any ideas would be appreciated. -- dat842 |

match function with nested if
One way...
Array entered** : =INDEX(H2:H10,MATCH(1,IF(D2:D10=A5,IF(E2:E10=3,IF( A9=F2:F10,IF(A9<=G2:G10,1)))),0)) ** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key then hit ENTER. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "dat842" wrote in message ... I'm trying to use the match function with a nested if statement.

Thanks. I tried your suggestion, but am still getting a #N/A error. I have
entered the formula as an array. Any ideas what I'm missing? -- dat842 "T. Valko" wrote: One way...

match function with nested if
Here's a small sample file that demonstrates this. I included a second
formula. multiple_criteria_lookup_INDEX_MATCH_1.xls 14kb http://cjoint.com/?cygfIVADn7 As you'll see, both formulas return the correct result. If you get #N/A with the array formula that means something isn't matching. There are many possible reasons. You may have unseen whitespace characters in your data. The dates may not be true Excel dates. The numeric values might actually be TEXT numbers. TEXT numbers and numeric numbers are not the same. So, you'll have to troubleshoot for those possibilities. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "dat842" wrote in message ... Thanks. I tried your suggestion, but am still getting a #N/A error.

match function with nested if
Great! Many thanks. This works. I guess I just had an error when I entered
the variables and didn't realize it. Is there a way that I can have it return "unavailable" instead of #N/A if there is an invalid combination of variables entered? -- dat842 "T.

match function with nested if
Another question....are there any limitations that you are aware of when
using these formulas? For example, I've put the data table (about 65000 rows) on one tab and the lookup formula in another tab. I also have the data ranges setup to be the entire column on the data tab of the spreadsheet. I can't get the formula to work in this situation. -- dat842 "dat842" wrote: Great! Many thanks.
