GLITCH using INDEX-MATCH formula

Hello Ninjas,
Check the attached file, and please teach me how to get rid of this glitch:

M33's result should be U93, but it's giving me U94. I have tried everything already: deleted raws, cut and paste in a different area, deleted U94...etc..etc...etc

Hi ,

Your formula is :

=IF($B33="",0,IF($G$2=$N$1,INDEX($R$60:$R$273,MATCH(C33,$P$60:$P$273,0)),IF($G$2=$N$2,INDEX($S$60:$S$273,MATCH(C33,$P$60:$P$273,0)),IF($G$2=$N$3,INDEX($T$60:$T$273,MATCH(C33,$P$60:$P$273,0)),IF($G$2=$N$4,INDEX($U$60:$U$273,MATCH(C33,$P$59:$P$273,0)),IF($G$2=$N$5,INDEX($V$60:$V$273,MATCH(C33,$P$60:$P$273,0)),IF($G$2=$N$6,INDEX($W$60:$W$273,MATCH(C33,$P$60:$P$273,0)),IF($G$2=$N$7,INDEX($X$60:$X$273,MATCH(C33,$P$60:$P$273,0)),IF($G$2=$N$8,INDEX($Y$60:$Y284,MATCH(C33,$P$60:$P$273,0)),IF($G$2=$P$1,INDEX($R$277:$R$438,MATCH(C33,$P$274:$P$438,0)),IF($G$2=$P$2,INDEX($R$440:$R$616,MATCH(C33,$P$440:$P$616,0)),IF($G$2=$P$3,INDEX($R$618:$R$792,MATCH(C33,$P$618:$P$792,0)),IF($G$2=$P$4,INDEX($R$794:$R$1159,MATCH(C33,$P$794:$P$1159,0)),IF($G$2=$P$5,INDEX($R$1161:$R$1324,MATCH(C33,$P$1161:$P$1324,0)),0))))))))))))))

The relevant section is highlighted.

If the first parameter to the INDEX function is the range $U$60:$U$273 , then the lookup range , the second parameter to the MATCH function should be $P$60:$P$273.

Change this.

You should also correct the following sections :

IF($G$2=$N$8,INDEX($Y$60:$Y284,MATCH(C33,$P$60:$P$273,0)),IF($G$2=$P$1,INDEX($R$277:$R$438,MATCH(C33,$P$274:$P$438,0))

In any INDEX + MATCH combination , the range to the INDEX function and the range to the MATCH function should have identically sized ranges. What this means is that the number of cells in both ranges should be the same ; this if the INDEX function is ranging over 225 cells , from row 60 through row 284 , then the MATCH function should also range over 225 cells ; these 225 cells can be anywhere in the worksheet depending on how your data is laid out , but there should be 225 cells in the MATCH function's lookup range.

Hi:

Is this what you are looking for?

=IFERROR(INDEX($R$59:$Y$273,MATCH(C22,$P$59:$P$273,0),MATCH($G$2,$R$59:$Y$59,0)),0)

Formula in coloured cells in the attached file.

Thanks

Thank you very much, that's exactly what was hapening. This happened to me because I copied and paste, but now I learned something new, and I hope someone else did too.

Thanks, but NARAYANK found the issue. Thanks for your time and effort.
