I have a staff rota and want to input a date to show staff who are available to be called for cover.

I have tried Index Match and Vlookup but my Excel experience falls short.

I have an example spreadsheet but cant see how t upload?

In the example
Both sets of staff are the same persons name. I will just explain Column B+C.

In a cell, lets say B30, I want to input a date from the rota above. Below that date I would like to see a list of the staff available for shift cover.

So for date 01/01/2019 id expect the list to show Staff 5.....because Staff 5 has blank cells for that date

For Date 02/01/2019 Id expect to see Staff 1(O and Blank) Staff 2(H and Blank) and Staff 5(both Blank).

In cells B8:E12 where NA is used I need to ignore all other text.

So if a cell in that rage contained 'swap' or 'name' it would be treated as a blank.....

Is this what you expect? For me I can put text into the cell and it still shows unless I enter N/A.
