    Index Match formula not working

    Hello Friends,

    Please refer attached spreadsheet which clearly explains the problem. I am not sure where the error is in the formula. Also I would like to add one more condition to it.
    Another problem- I created Drop Down using Data Validation. Now I need to make the Drop DOWN ICon visible. It becomes visible only when I click on the cell.


    THanks

    Try this for the formula.
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    As for the dropdown being visible without entering the cell, that's not possible with a data validation dropdown.
    If posting code please use code tags, see here.

    Thank you very much

    How will I add another match to this formula, that is to match cell Q3, right now it is matching only cell value in Q2

    If not data validation, then is there any other way I can make it visible ?

    I believe there will be only one match and the result will be Number alone. Then try SumIfS() like this...

    =SUMIFS($B4:$M4,$B3:$M3,$Q$3,$B2:$M2,$Q$2)

    Check Form Combobox option from developer tab. But it is going to be a round way approach
