Hi all,
Hope someone can help please. I have written a index and match formula that works but I want to have more than 1 scenario in the formula. Thats when the formula do not work.

This works:
=INDEX(Database!$K$2:$K$6,MATCH(1,INDEX(($A18=Database!$D$2:$D$6)*(Sheet1!Z$14=Database!$L$2:$L$9)*(Sheet1!Z$17=Database!M2:M10),0,1),0))


I tried to nest 2 sets into a If statement but doesnt work. Or maybe there is another way.
=if(INDEX(Database!$K$2:$K$6,MATCH(1,INDEX(($A18=Database!$D$2:$D$6)*(Sheet1!Y$14=Database!$L$2:$L$9)*(Sheet1!Y$17=Database!M2:M10,if(INDEX(Database!$K$2:$K$6,MATCH(1,INDEX(($A18=Database!$D$2:$D$6)*(Sheet1!Y$14=Database!$L$2:$L$9)*(Sheet1!Y$17=Database!N2:N10),0)))))))


Appreciate the help in advance.

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.

How about
Excel Formula:
=INDEX(Database!$K$2:$K$6,MATCH(1,INDEX(($A18=Database!$D$2:$D$6)*(Sheet1!Z$14=Database!$L$2:$L$9)*((Sheet1!Z$17=Database!M2:M10)+(Sheet1!Z$17=Database!N2:N10)),0,1),0))

Hi Fluff. Thank you for your help.
What I am trying to have is to combine the below 4 separate formula. The intent is that if the first condition return false then the condition is tested and until the last condition.

=INDEX(Database!$K$2:$K$6,MATCH(1,INDEX(($A18=Database!$D$2:$D$6)*(Sheet1!Z$14=Database!$L$2:$L$9)*(Sheet1!Z$17=Database!M2:M10),0,1),0))

=INDEX(Database!$K$2:$K$6,MATCH(1,INDEX(($A18=Database!$D$2:$D$6)*(Sheet1!Z$14=Database!$L$2:$L$9)*(Sheet1!Z$17=Database!N2:N10),0,1),0))

=INDEX(Database!$K$2:$K$6,MATCH(1,INDEX(($A18=Database!$D$2:$D$6)*(Sheet1!Z$14=Database!$L$2:$L$9)*(Sheet1!Z$17=Database!O2:O10),0,1),0))

=INDEX(Database!$K$2:$K$6,MATCH(1,INDEX(($A18=Database!$D$2:$D$6)*(Sheet1!Z$14=Database!$L$2:$L$9)*(Sheet1!Z$17=Database!P2:O10),0,1),0))


I was able to do what I wanted using xlookup to perform the same task but its causing the spreadsheet to slow down quite massively hence trying to use match and index instead.

'=XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(M=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(N=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(O=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(P=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(Q=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(S=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(SS=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(U=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(V=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(W=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(X=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(Y=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(Z=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(AA=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode),XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(AB=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(AC=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(AD=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode),XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(AE=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(AF=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,XLOOKUP(1,(Employeecode=$A19)*(AG=Y$17)*(crew=Y$14),Leavecode,"T"))))))))))))))))))

Did you try my suggestion?
Also I doubt that index/match will be any faster than xlookup.

Yes I did try your formula and it shows up when the formula is in cell Z18 but does not show when I put the formula in cell W18 onwards.

I have no idea what you mean by that.
