Returning Specific Data using IF statements

[chrono2483]

Hello,

I have a sheet that contains columns of merged cells that have dates, Sunday to Saturday, as the heading. Under which are 2 columns (b/c the date cell is merged), that contain information. Column 1 and 2. Column 1 is the side header for the data in column 2:

|Sunday, Nov 30|
|Service Level| 35%|

On a separate sheet, I want to be able to include a formula, so that it will recognize what day it is today, and pull data from the cell. I tried using "IF" statements, however it didn't work, as it kept giving me the data for Sunday, even it I reference today as "Dec 2".

This is my formula:

=IF('Notes'!A1:B1='HOME'!A1:B1,'HOME'B2,('Notes'!A1:B1='HOME'!D1:E1,'HOME'!E2,IF.....) [and so on until Saturday]

Were 'Notes'!A1:B1 is today's date in the new sheet [=today()]
'HOME'!A1:B1 is the date from original sheet
'HOME'B2/'HOME'!E2 are the data that I want returned

I hope this is clear, if not I can clarify.

Thank you!

This should give you the data you want, you can then use it in any calculations you need

Thank you for your response. I've tried that, as well as variations if index/match, IFs statements, as well as v and hlookup, but so far that doesn't seem to do the trick. Am I missing something?



Here is my sheet 1:

	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H
1	Sunday Nov 30, 2014		Monday Dec 01, 2014		Tuesday Dec 02, 2014
2	SL Forecast	40%		SL Forecast	38%		SL Forecast	45%
3	Calls	14244		Calls	30364		Calls	24777

<tbody>
</tbody>

Here is my sheet 2:

	A	B
1	Wednesday Dec 03, 2014
2	HOME
3	SL Forecast
4	Calls

<colgroup><col width="64" style="width: 48pt;"> <col width="137" style="width: 103pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 5010;"> <col width="64" style="width: 48pt;"> <tbody> </tbody>

What I want to do is use sheet 2, and have a formula that will recognize what day it is (based on the =today() formula in Sheet2!A1), and with that find that date in sheet one, and return the particular data for that day (the SL and CV).

Can the index/match formula do this? Is there such a thing as combining IF statements with index/match, so that I could do (IF today's date matches the date in sheet 1, return that particular data)?

Thank you as always!

This will do it. My dates are UK style, but that is only formatting.
