Using Match and Index simultaneously...

Posted by Dennis Golbourne on December 28, 2000 11:16 AM

Hello,

I have seven sheets of Data, each sheet could range from 800 to 25,000 rows. I am trying to do an INDEX and MATCH on a value but currently, I am getting a{#N/A}...

The look-up value and the look-array are both formatted as 'TEXT' cell. Currently working on office 2000.

Any help will be appreciated.

Dennis

Could you give us an example of a formula that is not working?

I am sorry, here is the formula....
=INDEX(Global_00!A$8:AH$11249,MATCH($C$5,Global_00!A$8:A$11249,0),34)

Thanks again
Dennis

Try setting both array addresses to absolute for both rows and columns.

Hi Dennis,
(1)Please check if MATCH($C$5,Global_00!A$8:A$11249,0)returns any error when you try this formula separately. If this is giving an error you will have
problems.
(2) What is the value in C5 is it Numerical or text. if Numerical Change the format of coloumn A in Global_00 sheet to ABS value. This should solve your problem

Vijay
