My Table calculates when Progress Reports are due. Those due this week are highlighted in red via conditional formating.
Trying to figure how to list the student name and the report due in one cell on a separate sheet.

Example:
Student 2 PR 5
Student 3 PR 2
Student 5 PR 8
etc.

Many of our instructors are blind, so the current worksheet does not help them. Getting it to list as shown above would allow it to be copied and pasted in an email to alert everyone what reports are do.
I work for a state agency and we are not allowed to use Macros, so no VB code.

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Here is one approach. Note that I first create a list of students meeting the date criterion anywhere on their row, then the specific reports are listed beside their name. To illustrate what happens should multiple reports be due for one student, I changed the yellow cell from 7/21/2023 to a date that fell within the week given in cell N1 (so that two reports are due for Student 2).

Fantastic! New to the Filter function, but love it. I figured the N4 formula would contain nested Filters. Had to familiarize myself with LAMBDA and BYROW.
Thanks for the help!

Glad to help. The ($C$4:$K$24-$N$1<=6)*($C$4:$K$24-$N$1>=0) part of the formula creates an array that mirrors the data table in $C$4:$K$24, except each entry assumes the value of either 1 or 0 to indicate whether the entry is within the next six days of the "week beginning" date in $N$1. The 1's and 0's are formed because the TRUEs and FALSEs returned by the logical checks are coerced to 1's and 0's when the arrays are multiplied together. We'll use this two-dimensional array of 1's and 0's to determine which rows have at least one "1" in them...those are the rows of interest.

The BYROW function accepts a LAMBDA function as one of it's arguments. So we feed the two-dimensional array of 1's and 0's to the BYROW function, and BYROW takes one row at a time and feeds it to the LAMBDA function (so each row is treated as "x" in the LAMBDA function), and then that x (that row) is summed (the SUM(x) component in the LAMBDA function). So if you have two reports due within the next week for a given student, this expression will evaluate to 2 (i.e., if we were to look across this row in the two-dimensional array of 1's and 0's, we would find two 1's corresponding to dates that are within the next 6 days of the "week beginning" date in $N$1). We care about identifying any rows where this sum is >0, which is the criteria used by FILTER for trimming down the list of students in $A$4:$A$24.

The "old school" approach to summing across each row involves some linear algebra using the MMULT function. Here is a comparison of the two, operating on the two dimensional array of 1's and 0's:

I got the output I wanted before I posted, but hoped for more compact formulas, like what you did. Here is what I came up with:

For the Student name: (messy, but it works)

=FILTER(Table1[Student],
(Table1[Staffing ICP]=$A$2)+
(Table1[PR 1]=$A$2)+
(Table1[PR 2]=$A$2)+
(Table1[PR 3]=$A$2)+
(Table1[PR 4]=$A$2)+
(Table1[PR 5]=$A$2)+
(Table1[PR 6]=$A$2),"")

For the Report Due: (got this from a YouTube video)

=IF(A4="","",INDEX(Table1[[#Headers],[Staffing ICP]:[PR 10]],,
MATCH($A$2,INDEX(Table1[[Staffing ICP]:[PR 10]],
MATCH(A4,Table1[Student],0),),0)))

I like yours and will play with it to make it work for me.
Thanks for your help KRice

Here is a version that uses a formal named table (Table1) as suggested in your last post. Will there every be occasions where more than one report is due for a given student...as I've shown for Student 2 in this example? I ask because the MATCH function you've described will find only the first match, but not all of them if there are multiple reports for a student.
