Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

There's *got* to be a tidier way to do this?

=IF(INDEX('Risk Register'!$1:$1048576,MATCH('Risk Spotlight'!B$1,'Risk Register'!A:A,FALSE),12)=0,"N/A",(INDEX('Risk Register'!$1:$1048576,MATCH('Risk Spotlight'!B$1,'Risk Register'!A:A,FALSE),12)))

The 12 is the column number in the INDEX formula if my glasses are on right.

Going back to the comment by Um regarding dates in excel. They are stored as numbers (not integers ;) ) as days since 1 Jan 1900 00:00:00, but be a little bit careful if you play with them outside of excel, as what is considered 0 by the system varies by OS. Unix assumes 0 is 1 Jan 1970, on Apple it's 1 Jan 2001, and Microsoft its 1 Jan 1601...

Actual LOL at Glenn.

I inherited this from someone further up the food chain.

Separate the formula. Put the MATCH formula in one cell (say D1); the 12 in another (presume you will calc) (say E1), INDEX in another (say F1).

Hence =INDEX(RiskRegBlah, D1, E1)

Then say in G1

=IF(F1=0, "N/A", F1)

Jugs?

Yes, helper cells seem to be the sensible way to do it - thanks.
