I don't know if it is possible, but is there a way to use index/match in an IF statement? Or maybe something else will work. I have a range of A5:F250 with a list of events for different entries.

Column A = First Names
Column B = Last Names
Column D = Name of Events (Birthday, Deceased, Etc.)
Column F = Days Until Next Event

I would like to place a zero in Column F of a persons birthday row if the first name, last name and the word Deceased are in the same row some where else. Otherwise I will calculate the number of days until the next birthday. I have a formula for that. I just need to get there in an IF statement. Below is a formula I tried but was called volatile by Excel.

=IFERROR(IF(C5="","",IF(INDEX($C5:$C$250,MATCH(1,(A5=$A$5:$A$250)*(B5=$B$5:$B$250)*("Deceased"=$D$5:$D$250),0))=C5,0,IF(I5>TODAY(),DATEDIF(TODAY(),I5,"YD"),DATEDIF(TODAY(),K5,"YD")))),"N/A")

Thanks to all for all the help in the past and for any help here.

Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
Try like this

=IF(COUNTIFS(A$5:A$250,A5,B$5:B$250,B5,D$5:D$250,"Deceased"),0,your days formula here)

Thank you, that actually put 0 in both the birthday and deceased rows which makes more sense. I might mention that is the days until column that I am putting it in.
And thank you for a lesson on COUNTIFS, I see more uses for it now.
