Here is what I have. A Calendar with multiple cells per each date. what I am looking for is to present my data on a home row. without having to scroll each time to look for my data. I have already a cell presenting todays date at all times so when it changes the data will change accordingly. so I have a simple 1 month calendar, on top row says month and year, next row all the days(sun-sat) then each day has 2 col. of 5 rows. cell (1,1) has the date which is formatted as a special number "d" to put day from m/d/yyyy in that cell. all other cells are currently manual entry which I would like to pull the data from. I figured that I want something to the effect of Index and Match Function but not sure how it would be written. so in a sense I want to lookup the day then lookup the data within that day. sorry for not displaying anything, but the site wont let me go to next line
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
this can be done no problem, can you give us a sample with row numbers and column letters so that I can create a formula for you?

Home row = all of row 1 (cell a1 = today()
row 2 Col. A-N = Jan 2013
row 3 same Col. = sun-sat
next rows all days of month

Sample day(each day are the same)
(Cell A3) 1/1/13 formatted to say 1 skip to (cell C3) 1/2/13 formatted to say 2
(Cell B3) manual entry numerical
(Cell A4-A8) text data (manual entry)
(Cell B4-B8) numerical data (manual entry)

Its all drawn out just like a regular calendar

and the formula =INDEX(DailyCalender!$A$4:$P$17,SMALL(IF(Today!$A$1=DailyCalender!$A$4:$P$4,ROW(DailyCalender!$A$5:$A$19)-ROW(DailyCalender!$A$5)+1),ROWS(B$3:B3)),MATCH($A$1,DailyCalender!$A$4:$P$4,0))
you have to conform that with Ctrl+Shift+Enter and drag it down
