Matching formula that is too hard for me!

[bran987]

Hi everyone,

Here are the things that are in each column.

Column A - Phone Numbers
Column B - Dates
Column C - Dates
Column D - Record ID's
Column E - BLANK
Column F - Dates
Column G - Phone Numbers

I'm trying to write a matching or lookup formula that looks up and down these columns and does this:

If A MATCHES G
and F is ON or BETWEEN B and C
then return the value in column D into column E

I really appreciate you guys you've helped me so much over the years.

Try this

=IF(AND(A2=G2,B2<=F2,C2>=F2),D2,"")

Hi DanteAmor,

Thank you, I guess I wasn't totally clear. The phone numbers in columns A and G could be on totally different rows, so I'm trying to make it so it looks all the way up and down both of columns A and G to find matches before it does the rest of the formula.

If I knew how to post a screenshot for you I promise I would! Does that make sense?

Is there a thread that teaches me how to post an example so you can see it? I don't think I was being clear enough.

I figured out how to post in HTML! See how the phone number in G5 matches the phone number in A6, and because the date in F5 is between the dates in B6 and C6, it returns the value in D6 up into E5?

Thanks Dante! I had to add some $'s, change all the 3's in the formulas to 2's, and it ended up being -1 that worked on the ROW part instead of -2 (don't know why) but now it works!!!!!!!!
Many thanks!

Many thanks!

The formula starts at E2, but it should only be checked at E3 down.
The E6 formula will only revise the E7. According to the logic after E6 there is nothing that can go up.

The important thing is that now it works for you.
It was a pleasure to help you.
