INDEX and MAX gets Invalid data type match

Terilyn

I have the reference to the MAX working correctly and pulls the newest date, but when I add it to the index to pull the information from the text field in the associate sheet I get invalid data type. Am I missing something? Can you advise?

=INDEX({Display by Tech Range 2}, MAX({Display by Tech Range 1}), 0)

Display by Tech Range 2 is text/number

Display by Tech Range 1 is create date

The display column is text/number. The goal is to do a compare and set a yes/no check box for establishing a user specified report filter.

There are a couple of issues...

You indicated the MAX function is pulling a date, but you have it in a position within the INDEX function that requires a numerical value. You also have 0 set as the column number to pull from. There is no column 0. At the very least you would need to change this to a 1.

Try this instead...

=INDEX({Display by Tech Range 2}, MATCH(MAX({Display by Tech Range 1}), {Display by Tech Range 1}, 0))
