Hi all,
I've searched extensively for the answer to this and come up blank. Is what I'm trying possible?
I am trying to return a description of a particular journal entry. There may be more than one entry which have subtly different descriptions. I need to match the nominal, cost center & also match a keyword within the journal description. However the keyword will be part of a longer string that will include, for example, a date or misc text that is not relevant. I cannot figure out how to do this with Index Match. My formula looks something look this:
=INDEX(O:O,MATCH(1,(M:M=E1)*(K:K="xxxx")*(O:O,"*HELPMEPLEASEMREXCEL*"),0)
I've also tried variants of nested if statements within the small function, but again no joy
Hopefully that makes sense. Can it be done?
