Formula HELP!!

 Hi Everybody.

I’m struggling with formula and wonder if you can help.

I have 2 spreadsheets. The first one represents a list of payments made on a particular day of the month.

The columns are date, room number, amount.

The second spreadsheet represents a table with days (horizontally) from the 1st day of the month thru 31st and room numbers (vertically) in the 1st column from 100 thru 150.  

I’m trying to achieve a compact view of the entire month with the 2nd spreadsheet by populating appropriate cells in the 2nd spreadsheet based on payments made during the month.

I use Index function with two match factors (one based on room number and one based on date), but it doesn’t always work right.

The issue is that I have to scan the room numbers from the beginning for every payment as well as dates.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Mark, you takes the value from 1D array and shall position row in it using two criteria (date and room #), not row and column.

     

    It could be

    =IFERROR(  INDEX($U$3:$U$19,  MATCH(1,  INDEX( ($A3=$T$3:$T$18)*(B$1=$S$3:$S$18),0),0 )  ), 0)

    INDEX within MATCH generates array of TRUE and FALSE (or 1 and 0) depend on criteria is met or not. Multiplication means AND condition.

    Please check in attached.

    Hi Mark,

     

    The idea is correct, what exactly doesn't work? Perhaps you may attach sample file or at least give exact formula you use.

      HI Sergei. As you can see in the attached file, I can't get the right value into the corresponding cells based on the room number and the date. The room number in the match function returns the room number, but the date in the match, returns relative row number.
      So I kind of stuck here.
      Thanks again for a quick response
