Index Match 3 criteria... works until the third changes

[Ronnie12345]

Hi all,

My first question here - long time reader!

I'm struggling to get an index match formula with three criteria to work. It works fine, matching the three variables until the third one varies.


The formula I'm using is

INDEX($C$5:$N$16,MATCH($B20,$B$5:$B$16,0),MATCH(D$19,$C$3:$N$3,0),MATCH(D$18,$C$4:$N$4,0))

The array C5:N16 is the first table below
The three matches are looking up using cells in the second table
Match 1: B20 is the date
Match 2: D19 is the country
Match 3: D18 is the fruit

All is well until the fruit changes.

I've had a hunt around and can't find this exact question being asked before so apologies if it has.
Can anyone help, please?

[63falcondude]

If you wanted to use an INDEX MATCH formula, one working solution looks like this:

=INDEX($B$3:$M$14,MATCH($A20,$A$3:$A$14,0),MATCH(B$18&B$19,$B$2:$M$2&$B$1:$M$1,0)) Ctrl Shift Enter

The parameters of the INDEX function are: "array", "row number", "column number"

Note that the references in this formula are based off of post #2.

 

[snjpverma]

Enter the formula and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. Not just enter.

=INDEX($C$5:$N$16,MATCH($B20,$B$5:$B$16,0),MATCH(C$18&C$19,$C$4:$N$4&$C$3:$N$3,0))
