  • Thank you Scott! One more follow up question, why is the INDEX/Array in in the match_type spot, I thought that was only supposed to be a -1,0, or 1?

  • It is not, it is in the second spot which is where the range to be searched goes. The third criterion is being left blank, which is fine as it is optional. Commented Jul 27, 2018 at 14:16
  • 1
    MATCH(lookup_value,lookup_array,match_type) so for the lookup value it is D$9, for the lookup_array it is Trans_CIQ!$A$8:$AZ$8, and for the match_type it is Trans_CIQ!$A$886:$AZ$886 from my understanding, or is this incorrect?

  • Yup missed that, not sure why it is in there. Commented Jul 27, 2018 at 14:21
  • Is your data sorted and you want a relative match or an exact match, just replace the whole INDEX with -1,0,1. I will update Commented Jul 27, 2018 at 14:24
