I am working on a spreadsheet for timetracking/productivity. In one sheet (People), I have the employee's name in column A6:A26, and day of the week in row 4 (monday column c, tuesday column d, etc).
This "people" sheet is where it would identify what "V"acation days people are absent, or if they are taking off a couple of hours (ie. 2).

Trying to bring this information to another sheet in the workbook that assigns work, and want to account for absences. So either if person A has a "V" meaning the whole day is off, this sheet would account for the full 6.5 hours day to be accounted for, or if they had "2", then only 2 hours would be deducted.

This is the below formula that I have.... right now it is taking the full vacation days and bringing them to the new sheet, but for blanks or partial days it is returning an error.

=IF(INDEX(People!$C$6:$G$26,MATCH($A10,People!$A$6:$A$26,0),MATCH($B10,People!$C$4:$G$4,0))="V",6.5,(OFFSET(INDEX(People!$C$6:$G$26,MATCH($A10,People!$A$6:$A$26,0),MATCH($A10,People!$C$4:$G$4,0)),0,2)))

Attached are two screen shots; first one is of the "people" sheet, and the second is of the "assignments" page that has the errors. Any help with why I'm getting an error would be greatly appreciated.

What version of Excel are you using?

I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

Thanks for that. (y)
How about
Excel Formula:
=LET(a,INDEX(People!$C$6:$G$26,MATCH($A10,People!$A$6:$A$26,0),MATCH($B10,People!$C$4:$G$4,0)),IF(a="V",6.5,IF(a="","",a)))

Amazing. Thank you so much. That works.
