Lookup Formula
Hi
Not sure if this is even possible but i want to look up a date in a range of cells, both vertical and horizontal then return a data in a cell in that row
for example:
in cell A2 on another sheet i have 06/08, i want to find this in the below range A:C and then bring back whatever is in column D of this row, so for this example it would be 08/08
A B C D
1 01/08 02/08 03/08 04/08
2 05/08 06/08 07/08 08/08
3 09/08 10/08 11/08 12/08
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Sharon
RE: Lookup Formula
Hi Sharon
Thank you for your question. You may find that rather than the lookup function the Match and Index functions may be of more help.
This allows you to specify the column and row co-ordinates and Excel then returns a corresponding value.
We have some articles that go into this in more detail.
Take a look at:
https://www.stl-training.co.uk/b/exceltraining/2011/09/example-of-in-indexmatch-function/
and see if this is might be helpful.
Here is a slightly more detailed example:

Let me know how you get on.
Kind regards,
Andrew
