Hi,

I am trying to find the amount located in specific cell based on month/year(x/xx). I have multiple worksheets; the first worksheet showing what value to look up and the specific date, for example... I need to lookup value 454839 on 1/13(January 2013).

My 2nd worksheet shows the data with the lookup values going down Column A and the dates across the columns in the 1st row.

I currently have a vlookup and match function:

(
=VLOOKUP(A30,'Std Values'!C:CG,MATCH('Non-Std Calc '!G30,Sheet5!$C$1:$CG$1,0),FALSE)

But I need help figuring out a macro or formula if the output from my above formual is blank.because there is a value in those cells. I would need the next value in that particualr row which would match the value in the row.Any ideas?
 

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
you can you index match.

=index(Your data range in sheet2,match(Lookup value,Sheet2!A:A,0),match(Date Value,Sheet2!1:1,0))

I assume that this formula
Rich (BB code):
=VLOOKUP(A30,'Std Values'!C:CG,MATCH('Non-Std Calc '!G30,Sheet5!$C$1:$CG$1,0),FALSE)

is located in Non-Std Calc and Sheet5 is actually Std Values. A further assumption that A30 might occur more
than once in 'Std Values'!C:C.
<strike style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration: line-through; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"></strike>
If so, then:
Rich (BB code):
=INDEX('Std Values'!$C$2:$CG$1500,MATCH(1,IF('Std Values'!$C$2:$C$1500=A30,
    IF(ISNUMBER(1/INDEX('Std Values'!$C$2:$CG$1500,0,MATCH(G30,'Std Values'!$C$1:$CG$1,0))),1)),0),
    MATCH(G30,'Std Values'!$C$1:$CG$1,0))

When I update this code, the output is showing "N/A".. What exactly are we saying to excel in this code? Thank you!
