Greeting,


I am apply the following formula, the formula return blank cells as a number instead of returning as blank. Is there a way to fix this, so that it returns just a blank value?

[TABLE="width: 70"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="class: xl64, width: 70"]=IF(INDEX(DATA!$D$3:$D$25,MATCH(1,INDEX((DATA!$C$3:$C$25=$B3)*(MID(DATA!$B$3:$B$23,1,2)=MID($A3,2,2))*(DATA!$A$3:$A$25=C$2),0),0))="OK","OK",INDEX(DATA!$B$3:$B$25,MATCH(1,INDEX((DATA!$C$3:$C$25=$B3)*(MID(DATA!$B$3:$B$23,1,2)=MID($A3,2,2))*(DATA!$A$3:$A$25=C$2),0),0)))[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Maybe...

Formula in C3 of RESULT sheet, copied across and down
=IF(COUNTIFS(DATA!$C$3:$C$25,$B3,DATA!$A$3:$A$25,C$2,DATA!$D$3:$D$25,"OK"),"OK",IF(COUNTIFS(DATA!$C$3:$C$25,$B3,DATA!$A$3:$A$25,C$2,DATA!$D$3:$D$25,""),"",INDEX(DATA!$B$3:$B$25,MATCH(1,INDEX((DATA!$C$3:$C$25=$B3)*(DATA!$A$3:$A$25=C$2),0),0))))

Hope this helps

Thank for your help and formula working fine.

How to add and match the additional range the same formula

In data sheet Column B first two character "88" and its matched to "desired result sheet" in column A second two character

Please refer my previous formula mid function ((MID(DATA!$B$3:$B$23,1,2)=MID($A3,2,2))).

Please advice me.

You can add this condition in the COUNTIFS
DATA!$B$3:$B$25,MID($A3,2,2)&"*"
