I am working on a spreadsheet to list people authorised to travel with IT abroad). I am trying to work on a section detailing those whose authority expires in the next 30 days

Column A is the unique identifier
Column B is the days to expiry of authority.
rows B4-B5000 will contain the data

My formula is in cells B5026-B5060. Once I identify the row involved columns C onwards can be a straightforward vlookup for the other details. I have done this before but gotten bogged down so any help would be appreciated.

My formula is
=IFERROR(INDEX(A:A,SMALL(IF($B$4:$B$5000<30,ROW($B$4:$B5000)),ROWS($4:4))),"") (as an array)

I was going to upload the sheet but i dont appear able to upload a copy

Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
Try
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$4:$A$5000,SMALL(IF($B$4:$B$5000<30,ROW($B$4:$B$5000)-ROW($B$4)+1),ROWS($1:1))),"")

Thanks for your help. I have got that section sorted but now found that it identifies dates in after the deadline has passed. Can you suggest how I can restrict it to 7 days past the deadline and the same 30 before. I tried playing with IFAND but got bogged down again.

Can you show us a sample of the data in col B showing which should be included.
There are some add-ins available here which allow you to post sample data to the board https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/about-board/508133-attachments.html

I struggle to install add ons as the machine restricts admin level work (dlo or install) so have copied the columns B-D-C etc below. I am trying to identify only IT within 30 days of the deadline (but dont mid going 7 days over)
