Hi everyone!

I haven't posted any issues for a while, but this one really got me or I'm just getting older :)
Basically I would like to format the cells based on the result of a lookup value from another table.
I managed to apply the index match formula to return the value, that needs to be evaluated, but when I put it in the conditional formatting, it doesn't find anything.

The formula looks like this: ="INDEX(Table2;MATCH(J4;Table2[Change];0);1)=$X$3"

I also tried it with index/match multiple criteria array formula: ="INDEX(Table[Env];MATCH(1;($I5=Table[Planname])*(K$3=Table[Date]);0))=$X$3"

Could someone help me?
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
You need to remove the "s from around the formula, I suspect that you may need to change the structured references to cell references as well.
