Advanced Logical Linking Formulas in Excel
I have regenerated an older tracker that my company uses to track driver loads. My higher headquarters requires redundant reporting so rather than fill out multiple trackers that ask for the same dat...
DELIVERY DATES D1:J1
DELIVERY DAY OF THE WEEK D3:J3
ROUTE NUMBER D5:D34 (SUNDAY)
E5:E34 (MONDAY)
F5:F34 (TUESDAY)
G5:G34 (WEDNESDAY)
H5:H34 (THURSDAY)
I5:I34 (FRIDAY)
J5:J34 (SUNDAY)
CURRENT DATE NOT DISPAYED CURRENTLY
I am trying to make the most current data from the cell areas above (N5:AB35) automatically be populated in the cell area at the bottom (R37:AD66).
I would share the spreadsheet but I cannot upload it here; on a picture.

To achieve this, you can use the following formula in cell R37:
=IFERROR(INDEX($D$5:$J$34, MATCH(TODAY(), $D$1:$J$1, 0), MATCH(TEXT(TODAY(), "ddd"), $D$3:$J$3, 0)), "")
You can then drag this formula across the range R37:AD66 to populate the route numbers for each day automatically. If no matching route number is found for the current date, the formula will return an empty string ("").
- Ok, so I did what you suggested but every cell in the range I pasted the formula above to, reads the same response.
For example, S37 should be searching for the current route number (from the cell ranges: AU5:AU34, BE5:BE34, BO5:BO34, BY5:BY34, CI5:CI34, and CS5:CS34) and returning the CURRENT DATE AND THE FOLLOWING DATE for the corresponding truck # in cell AD37 (pulled from the cell ranges AR5:AR34, BB5:BB34, BL5:BL34, BV5:BV34, CF5:CF34, and CP5:CP34).
I have uploaded a filled in version of this spreadsheet to make it a little easier.

Normally, Family Dollar loads 100s on Mondays, 200s on Tuesdays, 300s on Wednesdays, 400s on Thursdays, and 500s on Fridays; we in turn deliver the 500s on Mondays, 100s on Tuesday, so on and so forth.
