Hello, I am looking to derive a value based on a variable data set. I want take the date that is chosen and find that value in Column C then look to Column E's # that is chosen and give me the value from Column C that is that # (in this case 1) day prior to the Date I entered. Another kicker is that it cant be a weekend, so it would need to skip over all dates that in column D are labeled 1 or 7. For this example, the value the formula should have chosen is 1/9/15. Any ideas? Thank you:nya:

Hi,

I could do this after adding a helper column:

You have dates in Column A, B & C. Column D contains numbers.


Add a new helper Column E, In E2:
=ROW(C2)
drag this down till the last cell in the data range


Lookup value in H7: 01/12/2015
try the following formula in H8:
Code: 
=INDEX(C$1:C$49,LARGE(IF((E$1:E$49<MATCH($H$7,C$1:C$49,0))*(D$1:D$49<>1)*(D$1:D$49<>7),ROW($C$1:$C$49)),ROW($A$1)))

=INDEX(C$1:C$49,LARGE(IF((E$1:E$49<MATCH($H$7,C$1:C$49,0))*(D$1:D$49<>1)*(D$1:D$49<>7),ROW($C$1:$C$49)),ROW($A$1)))

This needs to be array entered (to be confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER)

PM me your e-mail address if you want the sample file that I created for you!

For some strange reasons I guess the system is auto correcting my formula. The actual formula is different than what I posted in the above thread. I did it twice - once with code tags and again without the code tags. Strange!!

OK, tweaked the above formula provided and it works now. Thank you for your help CBatrody. The formula that worked is as follows:

INDEX(D$11:D$27768,SMALL(IF((E$11:E$27768>MATCH($D$4,D$11:D$27768,0))*(F$11:F$27768<>1)*(F$11:F$27768<>7),ROW($D$11:$D$27768)-10),$B6))
