    Find closest time match with multi criteria, return another value

    Hello! Im hopeful I could borrow your time and knowledge to solve a problem I have. The excel file I am working with is actually 5 different spreadsheets, each with over a half million lines of data. Here is my dilemma:

    Zone is sometimes UNK(“Unknown”) in specific columns but is known in others. This is my problem.

    What I need is a formula that looks at the user id, date and closest time match to answer for the “unknown” zone.

    See attachment for example. I really appreciate any help you can provide.

    Regards,
    Daniel

    Welcome to the forum!

    In the workbook, it says this:

    The user ID has a match
    The dates also match
    The UNK fell at 12:00:04 AM, the closest known was Zone 3 at 12:00:01 AM
    Where will we find the matches and the Zone 3 at 12:00:01 AM entry?

    Please try at E2 and drag down

    =IF(B2="unk",INDEX($B$2:$B$5,MATCH(AGGREGATE(15,6,ABS(D2-$D$2:$D$5),2),INDEX(ABS(D2-$D$2:$D$5),),)),"")
