    I need help on a formula where I find an item and quantity based on a specific date

    Hi All,
    I am looking to find a formula where I am looking for a specific item then finding the quantity that matched up to the date counted. which auto fills each week
    This information would show on a new tab to mail out
    for example: shoes size 3 for week one (or date) have a quantity of 11 and that quantity would change for ongoing weeks.
    It's possibly a simple formula for some but I can't seem to grasp it.
    I was thinking of a vlookup them the range but its the change of date to adjust the week concerned that is foxing me,
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Re: I need help on a formula where I find an item and quantity based on a specific date

    Welcome to the forum!

    Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one.

    1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

    2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

    3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

    4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

    Re: I need help on a formula where I find an item and quantity based on a specific date

    Try this in B5, copied down and across as needed...
    =INDEX('Count sheet'!$B:$G,MATCH('at a glance'!$A5,'Count sheet'!$A:$A,0),MATCH('at a glance'!$F$2,'Count sheet'!$B$1:$G$1,0)+COLUMNS($A:A)-1)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Thanks FDibbins,
    I have to re jig a couple of cells to make it find the figure that matched and it works thank you
    but if I copy the formula to the next cell it is just returning a value of the first cell +1 instead of duplicating the corresponding weeks cell

    I think that you made a mistake. The formula works perfectly.
