Hi Guys,
I have a formula that I have been using to Index/Match with 3 column based criteria. I am looking to alter it so it is NOT an array formula. As I sort/adjust criteria it is screwing up. Anything I can do so it is just a sitting formula, NOT array.
Thanks a lot!

=IFERROR(INDEX(MILL!D:D,MATCH(1,INDEX(('2018'!$F11=MILL!$A:$A)*('2018'!$C11=MILL!$B:$B)*('2018'!$J$9=MILL!$C:$C),),)),"-")
PS i'd not recommend to search full columns in this case
Try
=IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/(('2018'!$F11=MILL!$A:$A)*('2018'!$C11=MILL!$B:$B)*('2018'!$J$9=MILL!$C:$C)),MILL!D:D),"-")
Also recommend NOT using entire column references
Thanks a lot Jon,
Just for the speed of the processor is why you wouldn't use the entire column reference?

It's because the formulae use arrays (even the standard ones!) to make the calculations, so limiting the ranges to just what is required is going to speed up those calculations.

Can I apply these 2 things (1: change it to NOT array 2: lookup range from 2:10000 to the below formula), I want to collect a list based on the $A$9 criteria:
{=IFERROR(INDEX('2018M'!$H:$H,SMALL(INDEX(($A$9='2018M'!$A:$A)*(MATCH(ROW('2018M'!$A:$A), ROW('2018M'!$A:$A)))+($A$9<>'2018M'!$A:$A)*1048577,),ROWS('2018M'!$A$1:A1))), "-")}
Thanks for the help Ali, I made another thread with the same name because it is a new question about a different formula, I will close the other thread.
Thanks guys,
It's ostensibly the same issue. I have therefore marked this thread as unsolved.
=IFERROR(INDEX('2018M'!$H:$H,aggregate(15,6,ROW('2018M'!$A:$A)/($A$9='2018M'!$A:$A)/($A$9<>'2018M'!$A:$A),ROWS('2018M'!$A$1:A1)),"-")
Thx Tim, but I didn't have any luck. It did not retrieve any entries in H based off of a column A to $A$9 match.
Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.
1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.
2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).
3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).
4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.
Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.
Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.
i did not check your links (How could i?)
red font. what it is?
{=IFERROR(INDEX('2018M'!$H:$H,SMALL(INDEX(($A$9='2018M'!$A:$A)*(MATCH(ROW('2018M'!$A:$A), ROW('2018M'!$A:$A)))+($A$9<>'2018M'!$A:$A)*1048577,),ROWS('2018M'!$A$1:A1))), "-")}
