Hi, I am after a formula which incorporate dates to return an individual's name in the Chair column of table 2.

Ideally, what I'm after is..

1. For the first name from the Employees table to populate into the first cell of the chair column:
a) Where the employee is still with the business (comparing today's date with the end date)
b) If a substitute date is provided also checking this against the date.

2. When it reaches the end of the Employees Name list to loop back to the top.
-> I was able to create a formula which performed the loop but I am struggling with incorporating the date elements. Looking for another way to achieve this
-> =INDEX(Employees_Table[#All], [Employee Name]], MATCH( MOD (ROWS $C$C2:C2), (4), Employees_Table!$A$2:$A$5,0))

I've included an example output table for reference.

Thank you!
