Lookup function for data

[Pieter1901]

I am collecting data, but now I want to put this specific data in lines so that I do not have any blanks anymore.

Column G - J are formulas of the dates from row 1 compared to the date in column A. So how many days there are in between these two dates. (30-nov minus 7 okt = 54 )

This is the data I want to transform into:

In array A10 - M16 I want to build a formula that matches the date in column A and than looks for the days by looking at the array G2 - J7.
I was trying it myself with a V-Lookup function, but this function doesn't let me search in the array that starts at column E to lookup the value in array Column B-D

To make an equivalent of VLOOKUP /HLOOKUP but not based "reference values" in first column/row of the area use function INDEX with embedded MATCH

So, for instance, while
VLOOKUP(A1,B1:D100,3,false)
can be written as
INDEX(D1:D100,MATCH(A1,B1:B100,0))
both formula have reference in column B and return value from column D


There is no VLOOKUP version of
INDEX(B1:B100,MATCH(A1,D1:D100,0))
(reference values in column D and returned values in column B)

Thanks, only when I use the match function. I am not able to match the column yet.

=INDEX($A$1:$J$7;MATCH($A11;$A$1:$A$7;0);MATCH(B$10;$F$1:$J$7;0))

How can I change this function so it matches the column?

Hi Pieter,

1) Attachment clarifies a lot. Really.

2) I suppose the match range for columns is too high (shall be 1 row). Try rather something like:

=INDEX($A$1:$J$7;MATCH($A11;$A$1:$A$7;0);MATCH(B$10;$F$7:$J$7;0))
or
=INDEX($A$1:$J$7;MATCH($A11;$A$1:$A$7;0);MATCH(B$10;$F$1:$J$1;0))

just one row.

Thanks! It works!
