Advanced Logical Linking Formulas in Excel
It sounds like you need to create a formula that dynamically selects the route number based on the current date. You can achieve this using a combination of functions like INDEX, MATCH, and logical functions like IF.
Here is a basic example of how you can approach this:
Assuming your dates are in column A and route numbers are in column B, and your current date is in cell S1, you can use the following formula in cell S37:
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$5:$B$34, MATCH(TODAY(), $A$5:$A$34, 0)), "")
This formula will search for the current date (TODAY()) in the range A5:A34 and return the corresponding route number from the range B5:B34. If the current date is not found, it will return an empty string ("").
You may need to adjust the cell references and ranges based on your actual data layout and requirements. Additionally, if you have multiple dates for the current day, you may need to refine the logic further to determine which route number to select.
Feel free to provide more specific details about your data layout and any additional criteria for selecting the current load. The text and steps was created with the help of AI.
