I'm trying to use a formula on Excel in order to:
(a) Compare all values from two columns, D and R;
(b) Identify which values are contained in R that are not contained in D;
(c) Provided that for each value in a cell of D; there is a value in the same row of column A equal to cell DRM!$W$1
(d) Ignore values in rows 1:5 of all these columns;
(e) List all those values contained in R that are not contained in D, starting from cell AR6
Here's the formula I'm using:
=IF(ISERROR(INDEX($R$6:$R$1000,SMALL(IF(ISERROR(MATCH($R$6:$R$1000,$D$6:$D$1000,0))),IF($A$6:$A$1000=DRM!$W$1,ROW($R$6:$R$1000)-ROW($R$6)+1)),ROW()-ROW($AS$5)))),"Not found",INDEX($R$6:$R$1000,SMALL(IF(ISERROR(MATCH($R$6:$R$1000,$D$6:$D$1000,0))),IF($A$6:$A$1000=DRM!$W$1,ROW($R$6:$R$1000)-ROW($R$6)+1)),ROW()-ROW($AS$5))))
The formula works fine when there's a match in column D, but when there's no match, it returns 0 instead of the expected text "Not found". Can someone explain why this is happening?
There ARE different values on both columns D and R, but they aren't classified as "IRRBB", so the answer should have been "Not found".
I tried both using this formula as matrix (Ctrl + Shift + Enter) and as the standard formula. Funny enough, when I used the same formula as matrix for columns Z and K instead of R, I got the right answer.
How can I get rid of the answer 0 and get the answer Not found?
I'm using Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Versão 2212 Build 16.0.15928.20278) 64 bits on Windows 10.
These are all the values in the columns and cells:
DRM!$W$1 = IRDC

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
I think you may have a parenthesis in the wrong place in your formula. I pasted your formula into Notepad++ counted 22x ( but 24x ). That's no good. That almost always means you are closing off some nested part of the formula sooner than you think you are.
I believe the following two highlighted parenthesis are placed in the wrong place:
=IF(ISERROR(INDEX($R$6:$R$1000,SMALL(IF(ISERROR(MATCH($R$6:$R$1000,$D$6:$D$1000,0))),IF($A$6:$A$1000=DRM!$W$1,ROW($R$6:$R$1000)-ROW($R$6)+1)),ROW()-ROW($AS$5))) ) ,"Not found",INDEX($R$6:$R$1000,SMALL(IF(ISERROR(MATCH($R$6:$R$1000,$D$6:$D$1000,0))),IF($A$6:$A$1000=DRM!$W$1,ROW($R$6:$R$1000)-ROW($R$6)+1)),ROW()-ROW($AS$5))) )
That first superfluous ) closes off the completion of the IF() statement so you never make it to the "what if FALSE?" result of the IF.
Here's how I solve/prevent that...
I use the LET() function to help me simplify really complex formulas, and once you get used to it, it’s life-changing. Using LET(), combined with using ALT-Returns to create non-breaking carriage returns in the formula is a huge simplifier. LET allows you to separate the part of the function that gathers all the data, from the part that actually performs the logic.
LET() is only available in O365/Excel 2021, but you have that, so we're good there.
Your formula, as best I can tell, becomes:
LET(
rA5, ROW($A$5),
rA6, ROW($A$6),
rR6, ROW($R$6),
rngR, $R$6:$R$1000,
rngD, $D$6:$D$1000,
rngA, $A$6:$A$1000,
rngRplus, ROW(rngR)-ROW(rR6)+1,
rA5minus, ROW()-ROW(rA5),
matchR_D, IF(ISERROR( MATCH( rngR,rngD ,0))),
equalsA_W, rngA=DRM!$W$1,
ifAW_rngR, IF(equalsA_W,rngRplus ),
fullMonty, INDEX(rngR,SMALL(matchR_D,ifAW_rngR),rA5minus),
IF( ISERROR( fullMonty ) ) , "Not found" , fullMonty )
)
I may not have the descriptions worded quite right, but you can see how it just changes the complexion of the whole formula and simplifies debugging. It also cuts execution time in half because the big hairy INDEX function is only performed one instead of twice.
Using this annotation I can immediately and easily spot my premature ).
Absent all the defintions, what you want the logic format of your formula to be is:
=LET( IF( ISERROR( fullMonty ) , "Not found" , fullMonty ) )
