If And Formula not working

My formula is not working but I also don't know that I am using the correct formula. I am trying to pull a number from a different sheet (a number from the PAC Weekly freezer reading max temp column) and want to pull that number only if it also has a match of the date from Week 1 and the freezer number


=IF(AND({PAC Weekly Freezer Readings Date} = [Week 1]@row, {PAC Weekly Freezer Number} = [Freezer/Fridge #]@row), {PAC Weekly Freezer Readings Max Temp}, "")

    The issue with your formula is that your positive condition in you IF just gives the system a range of values, which it doesn't know what to do with in an IF. INDEX/COLLECT should work much better here:

    The syntax is: =INDEX(COLLECT({Rate Value}, {Criterion 1 Range}, [Criteria 1]@row, {Criterion 2 Range}, [Criteria 2]@row), 1)

    So your formula would be:

    =INDEX(COLLECT({PAC Weekly Freezer Readings Max Temp}, {PAC Weekly Freezer Readings Date}, [Week 1]@row, {PAC Weekly Freezer Number}, [Freezer/Fridge #]@row), 1)
