Hi everyone
This formula:
=IF(INDEX(INDIRECT($A24&"!$R$2:$FK$51");50;MATCH(INDIRECT($A24&"!$HV$5");INDIRECT($A24&"!$R$2:$FK$2");0)+2)<0;INDEX(INDIRECT($A24&"!$R$2:$FK$51");50;MATCH(INDIRECT($A24&"!$HV$5");INDIRECT($A24&"!$R$2:$FK$2");0)+2);TEXTJOIN("-";TRUE;INDIRECT($A24&"!$ID$5";INDIRECT($A24&"!$IE$5"))))
is made up of three parts:
Part 1: if index match < 0
IF(INDEX(INDIRECT($A24&"!$R$2:$FK$51");50;MATCH(INDIRECT($A24&"!$HV$5");INDIRECT($A24&"!$R$2:$FK$2");0)+2)<0
Part 2: value if true
index match
Part 3: value if false:
TEXTJOIN("-";TRUE;INDIRECT($A24&"!$ID$5";INDIRECT($A24&"!$IE$5")
Textjoin part is showing only the first value, not the second one.
Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Copy PDF to Excel
Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
The INDIRECT syntax does not look right in Part 3.
Excel Formula:
INDIRECT($A24&"!$ID$5";INDIRECT($A24&"!$IE$5"))
The second argument to INDIRECT is optional to indicate address style and should be TRUE or FALSE if included. But you have another INDIRECT there that will be a multi-cell range reference. I'm guessing that is your problem. But since I don't know what you want your formula to do I cannot guess at what would be correct.

In part 3, I just want to join ID5 & IE5. How do I do that then?
In this formula:
=IF(INDIRECT($A24&"!$IH$5")<0;INDIRECT($A24&"!$IH$5");TEXTJOIN("-";TRUE;INDIRECT($A24&"!$ID$5");INDIRECT($A24&"!$IE$5")))
It works perfectly!
For this case, I have this in "$A24&"!$IH$5":
=IFERROR(INDEX($R$51:$FK$51;MATCH(HV5;$R$2:$FK$2;0)+2);"")

I don't have much of an idea how I got this but this is the solution:
=IF(INDEX(INDIRECT($A24&"!$R$51:$FK$51");MATCH(1;INDIRECT($A24&"!$R$2:$FK$2");0)+2)<0;INDEX(INDIRECT($A24&"!$R$51:$FK$51");MATCH(1;INDIRECT($A24&"!$R$2:$FK$2");0)+2);TEXTJOIN("-";TRUE;INDIRECT($A24&"!$ID$5");INDIRECT($A24&"!$IE$5")))

Still need help: match value is not working...
