you concatenating numbers like 900 & 10 (900-10) but lookin' for 900-010
etc...

change B column to text format, correct lenght to 3 digits (with zeroes) then concatenate

 

[sandy666]

or use =BASE(B4,10,3) in additional column then concatenate A & addtional column

 

[sandy666]

you can try this

=IFNA(INDEX('adj vouchers'!$L$3:$L$59,MATCH(A4&"-"&BASE(B4,10,3),'adj vouchers'!$C$3:$C$59,0),MATCH('adj vouchers'!$K$3:$K$59,'trial balance'!$G$3:$N$3)),"")

with CSE


edit:
if your Excel doesn't support IFNA() or/and BASE() use IFERROR() or/and TEXT(B4,"000") suitably

Hi Sandy666: the formula somehow works: its retrieving all the journal entries for the each journal entry number in one column : I was expecting for each journal entry number its correspondent scalar value on each of their columns. For example, I was expecting on column G which is voucher number 42019, the amounts related to that particular journal entry (186k,285k and -472K only ) .Take a look the file. Thanks in advance for your help

I correct your formula against errors only, nothing more
I didn't read your needs so you need to wait for someone else to get a solution

there are many formula masters

 

[jazzista]

Yes Agreed! Lets see what the array masters would resolve this. Thanks anyway for introducing the BASE function to me. Pretty handy formula!
