I have a calendar that is layed out like a monthly one with 7 days per week across and 5 weeks below, I have a list with event date and catagory, I am trying to get it to where I can use my drop down on the calendar seet for the catagory and have the items fill in on the dates per teh catagory, I have some catagories that have the same dates so I have 6 rows under each date I have it referanceing the date and tha catagory up top to the list to try to do the calendar. I can get it to work to a point some catagories will show through the whole month while others will omit the first week or 2 and or the last week or 2. My formula is
=IFERROR(IF(VLOOKUP(INDEX(Title, SMALL(IF($D$18=Datea, ROW(Datea)-MIN(ROW(Datea))+1, ""), ROW(A1))),Sheet2!$B$1:$G$200,6,FALSE)$C$1,"",INDEX(Title, SMALL(IF($D$18=Datea, ROW(Datea)-MIN(ROW(Datea))+1, ""), ROW(A1)))),"")
As a Aray
D18 is the date on the calendar that its looking for happens to be Tuesday January 17th 2011
Title = Sheet2!B1:B200
Datea = Sheet2!D1:D200
Column 6 has the catagories and $c$1 has a dropdown name list of the catagories to mathc against.
When going back and looking at my name referacnes it will change the referance values even if I have it locked as Sheet2!$B$1:$B$200 I have take out the names and put in the locked cells and move them down to like B27:B227
I would send my spreadsheet if i coudl for youto look at for better referance or at least a screen shot but I cant here and your contact me link comes up and Not Found.
Thanks for any help with this.
