    How to autopopulate calendar with data from different sheet

    Hello,
    I'm new here and this is my 1st time, so be gentle! I need help with a formula to automatically populate data from Sheet1 onto the respective date on my calendar on Sheet2.

    On Sheet1, Column A, I have group names for some parts I send out.
    Column D is the date they are due to return to my facility.

    SHEET1
    group color code out due
    1730a ja 12/28/15 1/1/16
    1730b ca 12/29/15 1/4/16
    1731a aa 12/30/15 1/5/16
    1731b ea 12/31/15 1/6/16

    SHEET2
    On Sheet2 is my calendar. I am looking for a formula or way to
    have the name of the group on Sheet1 to automatically populate
    in the appropriate date/cell on Sheet2.

    January-16
    FRI 01 1730a
    MON 04 1730b
    TUE 05 1731a
    WED 06 1731b

    I thought it would be an easy IF function but I am having trouble making it work. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

    Re: How to autopopulate calendar with data from different sheet

    Welcome to the forum.

    In C8 of Sheet 2, use this:
    Formula: copy to clipboard 
    =IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$5,MATCH(B8,Sheet1!$D$2:$D$5,0)),"nothing due")

    This looks up the date on Sheet 2 (B8) in the list of dates on Sheet 1 (D2 to D5 - expand it as you need), then returns the matching result from column A on Sheet 1 (A2 to A5 - again, expand it as you need). If there's nothing on that date, it would normally return the error #N/A, so the IFERROR part of the formula instead tells it to return 'nothing due' - change that to whatever you want (putting "" will leave the cell blank).
    A word of warning - if you have multiple items due on the same date, this will only return the first one. It is possible to return them all, but it's quite a bit more complicated - if you need this, get back to us.

    Hope that helps.
    Regards,
    Aardigspook

    I recently started a new job so am a bit busy and may not reply quickly. Sorry - it's not personal - I will reply eventually.
    If your problem is solved, please go to 'Thread Tools' above your first post and 'Mark this Thread as Solved'.
    If you use commas as your decimal separator (1,23 instead of 1.23) then please replace commas with semi-colons in your formulae.
    You don't need to give me rep if I helped, but a thank-you is nice.
