This is the formula in cell B4 on a sheet named Switchboard.

Code:
=Dates!A&(MATCH(B3,Dates!$B$3:$B$60,1)+2)

I am getting a #Name? failure in cell B4. When I isolate the Match formula, it works fine.

I am trying to pull the value of cell A19 on the Dates worksheet. I want this value to appear in cell B4 on the Switchboard worksheet. The match function is to determine what row on the Dates worksheet the value should be returned from. Adding 2 to the match function compensates for the relative offset of the function.

Thanks in advance.

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
Looks like...

Either:

=INDEX(Dates!$A$3:$A$60,MATCH(B3,Dates!$B$3:$B$60,1))

Or:

=INDEX(Dates!$A$3:$A$60,MATCH(B3,Dates!$B$3:$B$60,0))

If none above, care to elaborate?
