INDEX/MATCH to enter a number based off a month name.

William Gray

I'm trying to get an index match formula to enter the number of a quarter based of the month completed name between my working sheet and a helper sheet:

=IFERROR(INDEX({SourceMonthName}, MATCH(MONTH[Month Complete]@row), {SourceQuarterNUmber}, 0), "")

I keep getting #unparseable

Thank you for your help. I swapped the sheet references around and it worked.

=INDEX({SourceQuarterNumber}, MATCH([Month Complete]@row, {SourceMonthName}, 0))

Hi @William Gray

Try moving the parenthesis that closes the MATCH function

From

=IFERROR(INDEX({SourceMonthName}, MATCH(MONTH[Month Complete]@row), {SourceQuarterNUmber}, 0), "")

To

=IFERROR(INDEX({SourceMonthName}, MATCH(MONTH[Month Complete]@row, {SourceQuarterNUmber}, 0)), "")

You might also need IFERROR around the MONTH function to return 0 if the cell is blank.

Still getting #unparseable

Are your Month Complete and SourceMonthName columns date format? If doesn't sound like they are. If these are not dates, remove the MONTH function from the formula. You can match the text in the Month Complete with the text in SourceMonthName

=IFERROR(INDEX({SourceMonthName}, MATCH([Month Complete]@row, {SourceQuarterNUmber}, 0)), "")
