Trying to use Index with Match but I get error code 2042

[Livin404]

I have a data based on sheet 'ACTIVITY' and the code am using is in Column D. by references is on the worksheet 'State Country Code'.

I tried using this formula and it doesn't seem to work. I get an error code 2042

Any assistance will greatly be appreciated.

Thank you,

=INDEX('State Country Code'!A2:A10387,MATCH(ACTIVITY!D2,'State Country Code'!B2:B10387,0))

Code looks ok. Can you provide sample data using XL2BB so that we can test.

Thank you, here is a link into the Drop Box. While you're there why does the day Column N converts it to a true value after I plug in the date. However, for now my main concern is for my original question.

Thank you again.

Your workbook has a change event on that sheet that will convert any formula you try to put in that sheet from columns A-M to a value.
In this case the formula appears to be back to front and returning #N/A and VBA is converting that to Error 2042 which the code is then Upper Casing.

I expect the formula should be:
(with columns A & B for Index & Match respectively reversed to B & A and row range locked down)

=INDEX('State Country Code'!B$2:B$10387,MATCH(ACTIVITY!D2,'State Country Code'!A$2:A$10387,0))

I am not sure this will fully solve your issue without addressing how you are entering the formula and what your change macro is doing.
It doesn't make sense to me to format the whole of Columns A-M for all rows each time there is a change in any column.

PS: I don't understand your issue with column N. You have prepopulated it with a formula and the change event in the sample you sent doesn't impact it since it only goes up to the Column M. The formula appears to be doing what it is intended to do.
The formula being: =IF(A7="","",DAY(A7))
