    Index/Match Multiple Criteria Issue

    Hello Everyone,

    I have an issue with a multiple criteria Index/Match formula. I've attached an example. As you can see, I'm getting an "#N/A" return and I'm not sure why. If you make the formula single criteria (using either set of criteria) it seems to work fine.

    If someone could explain what is causing the error, I'd really appreciate it.

    Thanks!IndexMatchIssue.xlsx

    Your formula is written as an array formula. Try confirming it as an array with Ctrl-Shift-Enter.

    As ConneXionLost has said, committing the formula with Ctrl-Shift-Enter will work. However, it will be horrendously slow given the whole column references. I would recommend defining some Dynamic Named Ranges for the columns.

    I can't believe I kept forgetting to Ctrl+Shift+Enter on that. I'm a moron. haha

    Thanks for your help, CL and TMS!
