Hi All,

I have been struggling keep this formula working as intended, I've spent a lot of time scratching my head over this,

The Issue is with column D and the date if I manually type the date it works fine, if I use a formula in i.e. =Now() it sometimes works 🤷‍♂️

Now I wish to input the date via a user form a textbox this I have completed and the date from the textbox is pasted to D2:D100 but for some reason the formula will not work
because of this date input, I have include a copy of the data unfortunately L2BB does not work with my work computer,

I really can't work this out, can anyone assist please, Thanks in advance.

=IFERROR(IF(INDEX('Data Sheet'!$C$9:$ND$59,MATCH(C2,'Data Sheet'!$B$9:$B$100,0),MATCH(D2,'Data Sheet'!$C$9:$ND$9,0))= "","Yes",""),"")

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
2 things.
• Your first match runs to row 100 but the Index range only runs to 59
• Your date column D is formatted as Date but the values are actually entered as Text.
How is your data getting in to that sheet ?
You can convert it selecting column D, then Text to Columns > Delimited > Finish
But you will still need to address how you are getting the data so you don't have to do that each time.

Thank you Alex for your assistance, great advise :giggle:

Here is the VBA I am using to input the date, the worksheet is ("Available")

Again thanks Alex,

VBA Code:
Private Sub showall_Click()
' ---------- Show All ---------------

Dim sh As Worksheet
Set sh = Sheets("JobRequirements")
Dim iRow As Long
iRow = sh.Range("A" & sh.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Roledate.Value = Format(Roledate.Value, "dd/mm/yyyy")
Worksheets("Available").Range("D2:D100").Value = yourjobs.Roledate.Value
Worksheets("Rolecheck").Range("F1").Value = yourjobs.Roledate.Value
Worksheets("JobRequirements").Range("E2:E100").Value = yourjobs.Roledate.Value

'to populate listbox  from Database sheet
   With Me.ListBox1
       .ColumnCount = 5
       .ColumnHeads = True
       .ColumnWidths = "120,120,120,120,120"
       .RowSource = "JobRequirements!A2:E" & iRow
       Sheets("Rolecheck").Visible = False
       Sheets("Home").Select
   End With
   'Now run & See
End Sub

So in this line Roledate.Value = Format(Roledate.Value, "dd/mm/yyyy"), you are converting the date to TEXT.
I can't see where you are getting Roledate from. If it is from a Cell try using RoleDate.Value2 and don't use Format in VBA just Format the Column to "dd/mm/yyyy"

See if this works for you.

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub showall_Click()
' ---------- Show All ---------------

Dim sh As Worksheet
Set sh = Sheets("JobRequirements")
Dim iRow As Long
iRow = sh.Range("A" & sh.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

' ----- Changed Section -----
Dim dtRoleDate As Date
dtRoleDate = CDate(Roledate.Value)

Worksheets("Available").Range("D2:D100").Value2 = dtRoleDate
Worksheets("Rolecheck").Range("F1").Value2 = dtRoleDate
Worksheets("JobRequirements").Range("E2:E100").Value2 = dtRoleDate
' ----- End Changed Section -----

'to populate listbox  from Database sheet
   With Me.ListBox1
       .ColumnCount = 5
       .ColumnHeads = True
       .ColumnWidths = "120,120,120,120,120"
       .RowSource = "JobRequirements!A2:E" & iRow
       Sheets("Rolecheck").Visible = False
       Sheets("Home").Select
   End With
   'Now run & See
End Sub
