Index Match Formula help. Index Match of Health status of an activity into Sheet Summary

Omid · 02/24/23

I have multiple sheets with the same columns (Health, Task Name, Start, Finish). Note that the Health column is a symbol (red, yellow, green, blue). In my summary sheet, I am using the following Index Match formula to search for Task A in Task Name column and spit out Health symbol.

=INDEX(Health:Health, MATCH("Task A", [Task Name]:[Task Name], 0))

However, on most (not all) of my sheets, I am getting #INVALID OPERATION error and I can't seem to figure out why.

Note: Both Field 38 and Health column is formatted as symbol. (see attached).

Hi @Omid

I tested out your scenario and I am getting the results here (this is my summary sheet) - by using the formula

=INDEX({Task Health}, MATCH("A", {Task Name}))

Hope this helps,

Cheers!

Hi @Ipshita - I'm getting #INVALID REF error. I don't see Task Health a column in your sheet. Also, "A" is not in your sheet. Not sure how you're able to pull in the blue from your sheet into the Summary Sheet.

That is because, I had only attached a screenshot of my test summary sheet for you, here is the test master sheet where I have the Project name, task health, task status etc -
