Hello,
I am trying to use Index:Match to find a value in several different columns then return the result of a column once I find a match. Here is the sample formula I am trying.
=IFNA(INDEX('ALL-CIMM-DATA-321'!A:I,MATCH('RAW-DATA'!K:K,'ALL-CIMM-DATA-321'!I:I,0),4),(INDEX('ALL-CIMM-DATA-321'!A:J,MATCH('RAW-DATA'!K:K,'ALL-CIMM-DATA-321'!J:J,0),4),(INDEX('ALL-CIMM-DATA-321'!A:J,MATCH('RAW-DATA'!K:K,'ALL-CIMM-DATA-321'!H:H,0),4))))

It works if I use 2 columns but not more than that.

thank you for any help in advance.

It would help if you could post a small sample and the result you expect. Where is the result of the column you want to return. Is it the header?
Maybe the example below on ways to find the column for your INDEX will help.
If you have Excel ver. 2010 or later you can use the AGGREGATE function in cell B10 or the formula in B11 can be used in any ver., but it must be enter with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER.

Sheet 2
COL A
PTS350SS0111SBAN


I am trying to Index a sheet with item# in Col A Then MATCH them to find the first match in above table COL A B C
I need it to NOT MATCH the blanks.

I want the Value of COL D when I find a MATCH in either COL A B C then return value of COL D

So In COL E
INDEX('Sheet1A:D,MATCH('Sheet 2A:A,'Sheet 1'!A:C,0),4) I know the last part is wrong. I need to find the first match in columns A B C

I hope this helps.

I need to get the result of Sheet 1 Col D By matching Sheet 2 Col A to Sheet 1 Col A,B,C
This works for trying to match to 2 columns

=Ifna(Index(Sheet1,A:E, Match(Sheet2,A:A,Sheet1A:A,0),4),(Index((Sheet1,A:E, Match(Sheet2,A:A,Sheet1B:B,0),4)))
If I try to add a 3rd Index/match to this formula I get no results.

The Value Im looking for can appear in multiple columns on sheet 1. I want to find the first match return result in COL E and stop.

The Formulas work but return a error window about calculating the formula.

error:
excel ran out of resources while attempting to calculate one or more formulas

I have to remove the Hyper Threading calculating in my advanced tab for it go away.

Thats fine but now its taking an hour to calculate 100 rows of data.

When I ran the formulas on 1,000 rows it took less than 1 sec. When I referenced whole columns, like you had in post#1 it took about 2 sec. to run.

I was using entire columns. I will adjust to just the data i need and get back to you.

AhoyNC,
I tried several different ways and still get that error.
However, I tested it on the sample data above and noticed another problem. Your formula does not stop at the first instance of the search value. It returns the last instance it finds in the array.

Is there any way to Index and match a value one column at a time for 3 columns in the same formula. Maybe an IF And/Or formula.
I need to search Col A for value. Stop if it finds a match to sheet2 A1 or try on Col B and stop or try Col C. Then once it finds a actual match it returns the value of column D.

I know I'm close but just missing something.
