Hi,

I receive shifts from one source in a table and I have the availability of staff in another source in a table.

I would like to return the name of the staff that is available in the column 'Name' in the Shifts Received table.

I have tried using INDEX and MATCH but I'm struggling as I need to use multiple criteria as well as using partial matches.

Also if two people are able to do the shift, which name would return first?

My question is, how do I match the name of the staff that is able to meet the needs of the shift?
I want the name to return in the Name column in the Shifts Received table.
