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

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney

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))
