im trying to create some code which will request input from the user for the day and shift (i have this much done). then copy data from another page and paste it in the appropriate variable location based on those inputs sent through an index/match function.

Ex: If user inputs 2 for day and 1 for shift, data will be copied and pasted in e3, e4, e5

thanks in advance

    myDay = InputBox("Enter day of the month")
    myShift = InputBox("Enter your shift")


    [I]what goes here?[/I] = Application.WorksheetFunction.Index(Sheets("Trend").Range("B1:CP1"), _
        Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(1, _
        (Sheets("Trend").Range("B1:CP1") = myDay) * (Sheets("Trend").Range("B2:CP2") = myShift), 0), 1)


    Worksheets("Inventory").Range("B12").Copy Worksheets("Trend").Range("[I]location based on index/match[/I]")

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
Running into run-time error 13 Type mismatch when it gets to the index function. not sure what is not matching.

currently set as
Trend = Application.WorksheetFunction...

realized i didnt need the index function and will just use match to find which number column (+1) to start putting data in. previous mismatch error is due to however my code is messed up:

Name = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(1, ((Sheets("Trend").Range("b1:cp1") = myDay) * (Sheets("Trend").Range("b2:cp2") = myShift)), 0)
