Hello Everyone... I'm not sure this can be done without VBA, but utilizing formulas only (CSE or not), I've attached a test spreadsheet. I'm trying to find an index/match formula or a combination of this and other lookup sources to be able to find the specific title in the top row, and then based on that title find a subsequent date corresponding to that title that also lines up with a specific location in the columns below it. Please see referenced test sheet.

Please refer to AA3:AB5, as these are the search parameters. By looking for "Title 2" (AB3), the formula would find the column of "Title 2", then it would look down that resulting column to find a date that is equal to or later than "2/21/2022" (AB5), but that also lines up to the column to the right that matches "Main 3" (AB4). In the example sheet provided the answer to the formula would be "3/8/2022". The formula would find the column for "Title 2" (F1:I1 or F1), then look at dates equal to or later than "2/21/2022" in that resulting column (starting at cell F14 and looking at later dates) until it matched up with "Main 3" in column G, and return the date that it lined up with. In this case 3/8/2022 from cell F29.

I hope this makes sense, and I hope it is able to be complied. I have tried array index and match formulas and non-array formulas but only get errors.

Thank you...
