Sorry if that's confusing. There are two sheets, both have a unique reference on them. One is enquiry data, the other is booking data.
I need to match enquiry dates to booking dates to work out lead times, find out how long it takes our customers to book after requesting a brochure (enquiry)
A problem ensues when someone enquires on 5th May 2016, then books on 10th September 2016, then books another holiday again on the 4th July 17.
The formula I have that pulls through from the reference is showing the very latest booking, when in reality it needs to show the next booking after the enquiry date. Going back to this example, the lead time is being shown as 425 days when really it should be 128 days as their booking after the enquiry was approximately 4 months.

What I need to see is their first booking AFTER the enquiry date.
On the example above, column Q is where the formula sits. Currently, it's this: =IFERROR(INDEX(BookData!H:H,MATCH(EnqData!P:P,BookData!N:N,0)),"")

Looking at the above, for customer AAAA001, the date I want to pull through in Column R is the next booking date greater than or equal to the enquiry date of 27/04/2018.
The correct answer would be 19/05/2018 which would have a lead time of approximately 20 or so days.
However, my current index-match will just pull through whatever's first on the list, which more often than not is incorrect.
So in summary, what I need is a formula to place in Q. This will index column H on 'bookdata', and match cell P2 on 'EnqData' against the range N:N on BookData... The tricky bit is only matching where the criteria that H in BookData is >= C2 in EnqData, but only the first largest one up, not the absolute largest in the range.
Do you think this is possible to do without an array formula? We have a list of 195,000 enquiries here
