INDEX / MATCH problem
Sheet 1 has 3 columns: grade, step, NBS
Sheet 2 has 3 columns: SM, grade, step I want to add a column NBS to sheet 2 for that exact grade and step, from the data on sheet 1. I tried the following formula but it gives me #value!. =INDEX(sheet1!$C$2:$C$6,MATCH(B2&C2,sheet1!$A$2:$A $6&sheet1!$B$2:$B$6,0),3) Thanks for your help Deborah |

Hello Deborah,
Your formula looks ok to me. You just have to enter it as array formula (with CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER). HTH, Bernd |

INDEX / MATCH problem
2 things:
1) You need to enter it with Ctrl-Shift-Enter 2) drop the ",3" at the end of the formula "Deborah" wrote: Sheet 1 has 3 columns: grade, step, NBS Sheet 2 has 3 columns: SM, grade, step I want to add a column NBS to sheet 2 for that exact grade and step, from the data on sheet 1.

So on sheet 1, insert a helper column immediately before the grade column. Now concatenate the grade and step into one text string in the helper column. Do the same thing on sheet 2 Assuming the sheet1 data with the new helper column is in A1:D100 and your sheet two fields are in A1:E1 with E1 being the NBS in sheet2 E2 put =Vlookup(A1,Sheet1!A1:D100,4,false) and copy down HTH __ Richard Buttrey Grappenhall, Cheshire, UK __________________________ |

INDEX / MATCH problem
If each grade and step combination only occur once (eg are unique) =sumproduct((sheet1!$A$1:$a$20=b1l)*(sheet1!$b$1:$ b$20=c1)*(sheet1!$c$1:$c$20)) Regards Dav -- Dav ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dav's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=27107 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=541543 |

The ctrl-shift-enter does not seem to work... Is there any other way?

INDEX / MATCH problem
Hi Bernd,
The ctrl+shift+enter does not work but I entered it as array formula (INDEX(array,row_num,column_num)). I can see that the result is correct while entering the formula (before clicking ok) but the result doesn't show on the spreadsheet...

=INDEX(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$6,MATCH(B2&C2,Sheet1!$A$2:$A $6&Sheet1!$B$2:$B$6,0))
entered while holding down the Ctrl and Shift keys works fine for me. "Deborah" wrote: The ctrl-shift-enter does not seem to work... Is there any other way?
