    Index and Matching formula combination

    I'm fed up.

    Why doesn't this formula work in cell D6:

    =INDEX(A9:D13,MATCH(C2,D9:D13,0),A9:A13)

    and what is the correct formula?

    derivative_x,

    In plain English (not Excel!) what are you trying to achieve? What should the result in D6 be?

    Re: Index and Matching formula combination

    the last part of your index() should be a col number (normally 1), not a cell range

    =INDEX(A9:D13,MATCH(C2,D9:D13,0),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
