I know there are people who are going to want to pull their hair out at my stupidity - I want to apologise in advance but I'm so stuck and I don't even know why.

Sheet 1 is Schedule Data (B4:Z4999)
Start Date is Column Y
End Date is Column Z
Data I want to be returned is Column B

Sheet 2 is Today

The below is what I'm trying to use for retrieval of items but only if today falls between the start and end dates of that item.

=IFERROR(INDEX('Schedule Data'!$B$4:$B$4999,SMALL(IF(AND($A$2>='Schedule Data'!$Y$4:$Y$4999,ROW('Schedule Data'!$Y$4:$Y$4999)-ROW('Schedule Data'!$B$4)+1),ROW(1:1))($A$2<='Schedule Data'!$Z$4:$Z$4999,ROW('Schedule Data'!$Z$4:$Z$4999)-ROW('Schedule Data'!$B$4)+1),ROW(1:1))),"Nothing found for today")

It hates me.
I hate me.
There's no error or calc issue - it's just returning "Nothing found for today" when I know that's wrong - there's about 100 of them that fall within the condition of it being today
(I butchered it from an iferror I had elsewhere that was returning other stuff without the need for the 2 dates)

I just need to be pointed in the right direction of what's wrong here, if anyone has a minute spare and was feeling particularly kind?
 

Excel Facts

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
As you have xl365 why not use Filter instead
Excel Formula:
=FILTER('Schedule Data'!$B$4:$B$4999,($A$2>='Schedule Data'!$Y$4:$Y$4999)*($A$2<='Schedule Data'!$Z$4:$Z$4999),"Nothing found for today")
clear all rows below the formula & it will spill down.

FLUFF, YOU LEGEND!!!!

I didn't even realise you'd replied - and I've been avoiding going back to this document because my mental health just couldn't take it...and here you are, just being awesome and fixing stuff.

Thank you so much (I'm ashamed to say I've never even heard of =filter)
