I'm trying to use the following formula to return a list of "active" Holidays between two dates.


=IFERROR(INDEX(Holidays,MATCH(1,(start_dates>=T$5)*(end_dates<=X$5),0)),"")


The start date in this example would be 12/27/2018 and the end date would be 1/3/2018.


Appreciate your consideration.

Have you confirmed the formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just Enter?

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Yes. Ctrl+Shift+Enter.

Apologies. I meant changing the start and end dates in Columns E and F.

Column B should still say 1/1/2018.

Works beautifully. Thank you.

However, I'm curious why "Weight Loss Awareness Month" drops when I change the start date to 1/4/2018 and the end date to 1/11/2018. It's still "active" during this time frame.

hmm...i think i misunderstood what you are looking for

See if this does what you need
