Hi All,


I am trying to work out a formula which allows me to return a value from a table based on 2 criteria with partial word match. I have an example below.


I would greatly appreciate any assistance!


Thanks

I would like to return a value from Fruit (month) column based on word typed in Group if date sits between that particular fruit's start and end date

Not the most elegant solution but I think it does what you want. Note this is an array formula so enter with CONTROL-SHIFT-ENTER. Hopefully cell locations are obvious

=INDEX($A$5:$A$9,MATCH(A2,LEFT(IF(NOT(1-(B2>=$B$5:$B$9)*(B2<=$C$5:$C$9)),$A$5:$A$9),LEN(A2)),0))

Perfect, thank you!
