Adding "If" statement to an INDEX and MATCH formula

Hello,

I've created an INDEX and MATCH formula to update a daily staffing sheet. So, it shows the employee status for TODAY(), based on another sheet. I realized today that when there is no value (which is fine - that has a meaning), I get #NO MATCH. Is there a way I could do some sort of IF statement or something to let this just be blank?

=INDEX({2021 RE Staffing Calendar Range 5}, MATCH(TODAY(), {2021 RE Staffing Calendar Range 1}, 0))

    Hi @Kelsey Ciarrocca

    Yes, you can add the IFERROR function before the formula and the result to show after.

    Something like this.

    =IFERROR(INDEX({2021 RE Staffing Calendar Range 5}, MATCH(TODAY(), {2021 RE Staffing Calendar Range 1}, 0)),"")

    Did that work?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!
