Hello,
I'm facing a problem I don't understand,
I've a huge table (Table11):
DateIDPlanned Start DatePlanned End Date... other columns...

K2 contains the date I want to search for.
The cell [@[Planned_Start]]) contains the ID.
I want to get the value (date) from column "Planned Start Date".

Here is the formula I used:

VBA Code:
=VLOOKUP(2;1/(Table11[Date]=$K$2)/(Table11[ID]=[@[Planned_Start]]);Table11[[Planned Start Date]:[Planned Start Date]])

I'm using a german version, that explains the ; instead of , .

I got the route how to create that formula from here:

When I set the filter by hand, I got only one value/line displayed, but Excel is shown #VALUE The column index number is too small. Specify a number greater than or equal to 1.

I don't know what I made wrong in here. :(

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
Use LOOKUP not VLOOKUP for that.
