I have searched and can't find what I am looking for, so I had to post this question.
I have a spreadsheet (not mine, it is a shared one created by someone else), it has columns/rows A1 - AW850.
Not every column is populated, but the further most ones are.
So, I need to return the value of the 1st column of 3 which the 3rd column is the value I am looking for.
for example:
Row 185
Columns:
AU AV AW
P02 Text 20.07.20
so in the example above: my match formula will find the value 20.07.20 in column AW185, but I need the formula to return the value of the cell that is 2 cells left of the matching value; which would be "P02" in column AU185
but not every column is populated, so AW in row 185 would have 20.07.20, but row 186, column S would be populated with 20.07.20, and so on.
the match formula works to find 20.07.20, but I am stuck on how to return the P02 value.
the P value will always be 2 cells left of the date in every row.
any help would be appreciated.
