![]() See our MATCH function page for more information. With m atch_type set to 1, values in the Weight column must be sorted in ascending order for MATCH to work correctly. Remember that we are using MATCH in an approximate match mode. With a row number of 7, INDEX returns $45.00 as the final result. With a weight of 72 in cell G7, the MATCH function matches 60 and returns 7 to the INDEX function as row_num: =INDEX(data,7) // returns 45 The MATCH function then simply ignores the FALSE values and tries to match the remaining numbers. Because there are 12 rows in the table, the IF function returns an array that contains 12 results like this: ,1) This code tests the values in the Service column to see if they match the value in G6. Where there is a match, the corresponding values in with Weight column are returned. If there is no match, the IF function returns FALSE. The filtering is done with the IF function, which appears inside the MATCH function like this: IF(data=G6,data) Note: this is an array formula and must be entered with Control + Shift + Enter in Legacy Excel. The classic way to do this is with the IF function. This is the approach used in the example shown, where the formula in cell G8 is: =INDEX(data,MATCH(G7,IF(data=G6,data),1)) Another approach is to "filter out" extraneous entries in the table so we are left only with entries that correspond to the Service we are looking up. But in this example, we need to perform an approximate match, so using Boolean logic will become complicated. For simple exact-match scenarios, we can use Boolean logic, as explained here. The remaining challenge is that we also need to take into account Service. We know how to look up costs based on weight. To do that, we need to extend the formula to handle multiple criteria. We have a simple working formula that returns the correct cost based on an approximate match lookup. The complication is that we also need to match based on Service. ![]() In this case, the largest value less than or equal to 72 is 60, so MATCH returns 3 to INDEX as a row number, and INDEX returns $18.00 as a final result: =INDEX(C5:C8,3) // returns 18 Notice the match_type argument inside MATCH is set to 1, to locate the largest value in B5:B8 that is less than or equal to the lookup value in cell F4. The formula in cell F5 is: =INDEX(C5:C8,MATCH(F4,B5:B8,1)) To illustrate, the screen below shows a simplified version of the same problem with the Service removed completely: Looking at this example from the inside out, the core of the solution is an approximate match lookup based on weight. If you are new to INDEX and MATCH, see this overview. In INDEX and MATCH formulas, the MATCH function finds the position of an item in a range, and the INDEX function returns the value at that position. How to use INDEX and MATCH - overview with simple examples.Excel Tables - introduction and overview.This article assumes you are familiar with Excel Tables and INDEX and MATCH. On the Formulas tab, in the Function Library group, click the Lookup & Reference button, and select VLOOKUP. This means MATCH will still return the correct row in the table even after IF has filtered out the other weights. ![]() ![]() This works because the IF function returns 12 results, which map to the 12 rows in the table. One way to solve this problem is with an INDEX and MATCH and the IF function to perform the required filtering. This means we must apply criteria in two steps: (1) match based on Service and (2) match based on Weight. The challenge is that we also need to filter by service. At the core, this is an approximate match lookup based on weight. Note: You can find the complete documentation for the AVERAGEIFS function here.In this example, the goal is to look up the correct shipping cost for an item based on the shipping service selected and the item's weight. We can manually verify that this is correct:Īverage Daily Sales = (7 + 7 + 8 + 6 + 8) / 5 = 7.2. The average daily sales between and is 7.2. The following screenshot shows how to use this formula in practice: We can use the following formula to calculate the average daily sales between and : =AVERAGEIFS( B2:B11, A2:A11, "=") Suppose we have the following dataset that shows the total sales made by some company on various dates: Example: Calculate Average If Between Two Dates The following example show how to use this formula in practice. This particular formula calculates the average value of cells in range B2:B11 where the date in the range A2:A11 is between and. You can use the following formula to calculate the average in Excel only for cells that fall between two specific dates: =AVERAGEIFS( B2:B11, A2:A11, "=")
