Hi,
I have created an Excel Online workbook that I am using with Power Automate in order to pull in Survey123 results (results go into a "RAW DATA" tab). In my "SUMMARY" tab, I am presenting an overview of the Sump data by date. In order to pull specific data from the "RAW DATA" tab and match it by date and Sump ID, I am using an Index and Match formula. BUT, I didn't realize that Excel Online doesn't support Arrays! YIKES! Does anyone know how to get around this for my situation? Perhaps there's a different formula that I can use that doesn't depend on arrays?
In the first table below, I have my "RAW DATA" tab. In the second table is the "SUMMARY" tab. I need the replacement for the formula presented in the second table (cell C2), and the replacement cannot use arrays. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Chris

"RAW DATA"

"SUMMARY"
DATECS-1
05/05/22{=Index('RAW DATA'C1:C3,Match(1,(A1='RAW DATA'A1:A3)*(B1='RAW DATA'B1:B3),0))}

With Excel online you don't need to array enter formulae, so try entering it as a normal formula.

Also shouldn't the A1 in your formula be A2?

Hey Fluff,
I feel like such an idiot now! You are entirely right, I was trying to enter the formula as an array and it wasn't working, and then after I read a post saying that "array is not included in Excel online), I panicked. Whoops. And yes, it should have been A2. All is good now, thank you for the help.
Much appreciated,
Chris
