I need a reminder folks. I've been using index match for a long time on my price grids and have to re-arrange the grids (from suppliers) from left to right and top to bottom as highest value first and have a "-1" in there so that when exact price isn't found it grabs the next highest price when using my formula:
=IF(I15<>"",INDEX(INDIRECT(E15&AE15&"prices"),MATCH(I15,INDIRECT(E15&AE15&"height"),-1),MATCH(G15,INDIRECT(E15&AE15&"width"),-1)),"0")
But didn't I see somewhere that there had been a change so that you could put something in place of the "-1" and I wouldn't have to muck around with flipping price grids?
There shouldn't be a need to explain the cell references in the above, I just need to know about the possible general INDEX/MATCH improvement.
 
Would there be any significant difference to stability or speed in the spreadsheet because if XMATCH works, that's good enough for me.
It just seemed logical to me to use a single function. Given the other points you have made I don't see any particular reason to change from XMATCH. :)

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Why not use XLOOKUP then? That will do the XMATCH and the INDEX all in one.

Peter this is what I would roughly need to work. Holland has to have the 1 after it. There are more than 1 holland price grids. The named ranges are holland1height, holland1width and holland1prices. what needs to change to make it get a result

just noticed I have width and height in wrong places but anyway still stumped

You are still going to need INDIRECT if you have multiple ranges that might need to be referenced.
I don't have the named ranges etc to actually test.

see post 12 for named ranges. didn't they used to get specified in XL2BB?

In regards to replacing XMATCH with XLOOKUP I came up with this but don't know if its any better. Named ranges are A2:A16 = vertical1height, B1:S1=vertical1width and B2:S16 = vertical1prices. please ignore the yellow cell fill.

Sorry, I didn't have a good grasp of your data structures and named ranges before. Getting a better idea now and agree that your original INDEX/XMATCH/XMATCH idea would probably be the simplest way to go.

They still do - IF the named ranges are used DIRECTLY in the formulas. Of course here they are used INDIRECTLY in the formulas so don't show. :)
